Program running
Most it pays
$22,500 lifetime
About the amount
Up to $22,500, one-time grant, for project costs (the Administrator separately gets up to a 10% administrative fee that doesn't come out of the household's $22,500).
Housing rules
Manufactured homes built 1995 or later qualify fully; older ones get exterior accessibility work only (ramp, handrails, flatwork). Renters are eligible if everyone in the household is on the application and the owner gives written permission.
How long it takes
Intake -> eligibility -> reservation (only when funds are open) -> initial inspection -> TDHCA write-up review -> bids -> TDHCA bid review -> construction -> final inspection -> payment. The household assistance contract runs up to 12 months, plus up to a 3-month extension — realistically several months up to a year.
How to apply
Find a local Administrator via TDHCA's 'Help for Texans' lookup (choose 'Home Repair / Accessibility Modifications,' filter to Home Modification for Accessibility providers) or email HTF@tdhca.texas.gov. Fill out the Administrator's intake application; the Administrator verifies eligibility and puts a reservation into TDHCA's system. Applicants never apply to the state directly and never receive the money themselves.
Does not pay for
General remodeling beyond accessibility and hazards is excluded. Rentals: the grant pays only for accessibility — the landlord must fix substandard conditions first, at their own expense.
