Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program for Persons with Disabilities (RRAP-D) (On-Reserve)
The RRAP for Persons with Disabilities On-Reserve offers financial assistance to First Nations and First Nation members to undertake accessibility work to modify dwellings occupied or intended for occupancy by low-income persons with disabilities.
Who is Eligible?
First Nations or individual First Nation members that require repairs to their homes may be eligible to apply. The total household income must be at or below the established income threshold for their area and the property must meet minimum health and safety standards.
What Assistance is Available?
Assistance is in the form of a forgivable loan.
Assistance is provided for one hundred per cent (100%) of the total cost of the modifications up to the maximum loan amount for the area. Occupants must continue to occupy the home for the term of the loan.
