HMLP is a state-funded lending program that provides no-interest loans to homeowners to fund necessary changes to keep themselves or a family member with a disability or mobility impairment living comfortably in their own home.

The program has generous income guidelines and allows for accessibility renovations based on the household member's medical need. This program can benefit anyone in the house who has a disability or mobility impairment; the homeowner themself, their child, or an elderly family member.

RCAP Solutions administers this program throughout Central Massachusetts in collaboration with MassAbility and the Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation (CEDAC).

Our Community & Economic Development team is in Midcoast Maine this week as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Thriving Communities Program (TCP).

Together with AECOM and other project partners, we're presenting a draft regional transit feasibility study and collaborating with local stakeholders on the next phase of technical assistance.

These visits highlight ongoing efforts across the Midcoast region, where transportation investments and planning initiatives are helping create more connected, accessible, and resilient communities. 🚍 🚒 🏍️
