Amy Young Barrier Removal Program
Program Details
In August 2011, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs released $4 million in funding through its Texas Housing Trust Fund (HTF) for the Amy Young Barrier Removal Program.
The Amy Young Program provides one-time grants of up to $20,000 to Persons with Disabilities, whose household income does not exceed 80% of the Area Median Family Income (as defined in the NOFA), for home modifications necessary for accessibility and the elimination of hazardous conditions. Program beneficiaries may be tenants or homeowners and their household members with disabilities.
Eligible Administrators include units of local government, nonprofit organizations and public agencies. Local administrators may apply to reserve funds through the Department’s Reservation System.
The Department began accepting applications to access the Reservation System starting on August 12, 2011 and will grant access on an ongoing basis until all Program funds are reserved, or until August 31, 2012, whichever occurs first.
