  5. Which document should a CEAC consultant help a client compile to support a funding application for home modifications under most grant programs?

    Most home modification grant and loan programs require documentation of the applicant's disability status, proof of income eligibility, and a home assessment report to justify the requested modifications.

  6. A CEAC consultant is working with a client in a rural area who owns their home but has very low income. Which USDA program combination best addresses both repair costs and accessibility needs?

    USDA Section 504 provides loans for lower-income rural homeowners to repair homes and grants specifically for elderly (62+) rural homeowners who cannot repay a loan, covering both repair and accessibility needs.
