RAMP Grant & Home Accessibility Funding in Alberta

‹ Funding & Coverage

Quick answer: Low-income Albertans with mobility challenges may be able to apply for the Residential Access Modification Program (RAMP) to modify their home. RAMP can provide up to $12,000 per person each benefit year, and up to $24,000 per person within 10 years.

This is different from buying a walker or wheelchair. RAMP is about changing the home itself so the person can move around and live more safely.

What types of modifications may be considered?

  • Ramps
  • Doorway modifications
  • Bathroom accessibility changes
  • Mobility-related home modifications
  • Safer access into or inside the home

Always confirm eligibility before starting any work.

The mistake to avoid

Do not renovate first and apply later. Many programs require approval before the work starts, and doing it in the wrong order can cost you the funding entirely.

FAQ

Does RAMP cover stair lifts?

RAMP may help with eligible accessibility modifications, but approval depends on program rules and the individual case. Confirm directly with the program whether your planned modification qualifies before you commit to any work.

Is RAMP the same as AADL?

No. AADL usually helps with medical equipment and supplies, while RAMP is for home accessibility modifications. Some people use both: AADL for a mobility aid, and RAMP for a ramp or accessible bathroom.

Can 1st AB Med Supplies help?

We can help with the medical equipment side, such as mobility aids and bathroom safety products. Home renovation funding itself should be confirmed directly through the RAMP program, but we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Planning safer access at home?

We can help with the equipment side, from mobility aids to bathroom safety, at any of our five Edmonton locations.
