• Grab bars/handrails

• Light switches and door knob replacement

• Lighting and trip prevention modifications

• Hearing impaired doorbell notification

• Appliance accessibility modifications for visually impaired


Potential secondary services:


Access to NYS & Utility Efficiency Programs

• Provide repairs to tighten the envelope of the home, and possible new HVAC and boilers


Secondary Work Scope

• Home entry ramps and interior stair lifts

• Bathroom/kitchen re-model

• Items needing repair to create a safe, habitable environment

I do want to let you know that the Town offers a Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) to help low income households pay the cost of water and sewer services. The program can assist households who have past due bills (arrears) for water and sewer services.
