Intake period runs February 23–27 for no-cost home accessibility improvements for eligible seniors and residents with disabilities.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Feb. 23, 2026 — The City of Memphis Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is accepting applications for the Memphis Residential Accessibility Modification Program (Memphis RAMP) from February 23 to February 27, 2026
Memphis RAMP offers no-cost accessibility improvements to eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners age 62 and older and individuals with disabilities, empowering residents to remain safe, independent, and secure in their homes.
As Memphis’ population ages, many residents face mobility challenges that make entering, exiting, and navigating their homes difficult. Accessibility improvements such as ramps, grab bars, and walk-in showers can be essential to maintaining independence, yet often remain financially out of reach for seniors living on fixed incomes. Memphis RAMP addresses this need by removing physical barriers that contribute to falls, injury risk, and social isolation.
“Safe, accessible housing is essential to quality of life,” said Ashley Cash, HCD Director. “Memphis RAMP helps ensure that our seniors and residents with disabilities can continue living with dignity and independence in the homes and neighborhoods they love.”
Eligible modifications may include entryway ramps, bathroom grab bars, walk-in showers or tubs, raised toilet heights, accessible controls, and other universal design features. All approved improvements are installed at no cost for homeowners.
Applications will be accepted February 23–27 only. Applicants must have household incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income, be current on mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities, and live in the home as their primary residence. Additional eligibility requirements apply.
Memphis RAMP is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, supporting housing that meets federal quality and safety standards.
Residents can learn more and apply during the intake period at: Memphis Residential Accessibility Modification Program(RAMP) – The City of Memphis.
