The BC Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations (BC RAHA)
BC Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations
Together with the Province of BC and CMHC, BC Housing is proud to introduce the BC Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations program (BC RAHA). The program gives financial assistance to eligible low- and moderate-income seniors and people with permanent disabilities or diminished abilities to help with the cost of making adaptations to their homes for independent living.
The program provides up to $17,500 in rebates towards adaptations that directly address an individual's permanent disability or loss of ability. This could include adaptations such as exterior and interior ramps and door widening to accommodate a wheelchair, and bathroom modifications such as grab bars, shower seats and handheld shower heads.
Applications are reviewed on a first-come-first served basis. As funding is limited, only completed applications with all supporting documents will be approved. The BC RAHA program has a lifetime funding maximum. Please take this into consideration when selecting adaptations
