VMRC Vehicle and Site Modification Grants

The VMRC Vehicle and Site Modification Grants offer significant funding opportunities for fiscal year 24-25, aimed at enhancing community integration and accessibility. Grants include up to $100,000 for purchasing passenger vehicles or vans, and up to $250,000 for physical site modifications to improve privacy and accessibility for individuals with mobility needs. These initiatives align with federal requirements for home and community-based services, supporting individuals to thrive in community settings.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) were developed to offer support to individuals in community settings, as an alternative to institutional care. In 2014, new federal rules were released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), requiring homes and programs where HCBS are delivered to meet new criteria. The Department and its partners, including DDS and California’s 21 Regional Centers are working to maintain and fully implement the requirements for home and community-based settings in accordance with this Final Rule.
