- No statewide dollar cap for OAA home modification; each AAA budgets its own. PASSPORT/MyCare (Medicaid) home mods are capped at $15,000/year — that's a different program (S2-OH-01).

- OAA home modification consent can come from the consumer, family, or a landlord. Housing Assistance Grant repair money is for homeowners only.
- How long it takes
- Not published. Call -> intake/assessment -> authorization -> service.
- How to apply
- Call the statewide number, which connects you to your regional Area Agency on Aging.
- Does not pay for
- OAA home-modification money can't pay for anything a landlord must provide, anything Medicaid/insurance covers, additions, or 'general utility' work.
