HOUSING MODIFICATION SERVICES
Accessible, affordable housing is a major concern for consumers with disabilities in San Mateo County. A recent government report showed that San Mateo County ranks among the top 10 counties in the nation for highest housing costs. The major emphasis in CIDs housing efforts is our Housing Accessibility Modification Program (HAM). This program puts in ramps, rails, grab bars, and other modifications to make a home accessible. These modifications are vital in allowing the persons with disabilities to remain in their homes and not be forced to move to an institution. CID also cooperates with a number of housing agencies in San Mateo County to increase the number and quality of accessible, affordable housing. We also work to educate the general public about the housing needs of the disabled population.
