Need to add a ramp or new step to your home? Kettering offers homeowners free money for this

The city of Kettering offers Accessibility Modification Grants of up to $10,000 for homeowners who are income-eligible and have a need to modify their home due to a disability. There are a wide variety of modifications and changes that can be made to your home dependent on your individual needs.
