Removal of Architectural Barriers Program

The City of Fredericksburg has committed itself to provide assistance to people with disabilities to live and function more independently in their homes and in the community.  It seeks to assist qualified residents in making limited modifications to their homes to remove architectural barriers.   To meet the tremendous demand, the City has developed a Removal of Architectural Barriers Program to assist low- to moderate-income persons to make repairs or modifications such as ramp or railing installation, bath or kitchen modifications, and widening of doorways.  The program may also provide flashing alarm systems for persons with hearing impairments.  Households (individuals or families residing in one residence) must be located within the City limits (22401 zip code) and have income limits that are at or below 80 percent of median area income, depending on household size.  This program is available to qualifying property owners and renters (with property owner approval).
