Home and Vehicle Modification Program

Complex application

Need you to file taxes and apply separately

The Home Vehicle and Modification Program (HVMP) provides home or vehicle modifications to individuals and families to enable children and adults with disabilities that restrict mobility to continue living safely in their homes, avoid job loss and participate in your communities.

Anyone who qualifies can apply for:

  • Up to $15,000 (lifetime maximum) for home modifications.
  • Up to $15,000 every ten years for vehicle modifications.

The program is available to permanent residents of Ontario who live with a substantial disability that impacts their mobility and daily function, and who can’t afford the modifications they need to maximize their independence.
