The Washington D.C. Home Modification Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies and contractors delivering home modification services to eligible individuals with disabilities and seniors across the District of Columbia. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the D.C. Department on Disability Services (DDS), including the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and the Aging and Disability Resources Center (ADRC), and complies with Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements, as well as relevant building codes and accessibility standards.
The manual includes policies and procedures governing individualized assessment of home accessibility needs, scope of allowable modifications (e.g., ramps, grab bars, widened doorways, bathroom adaptations), contractor qualifications and licensing, permit requirements, bidding and procurement processes, inspection and quality assurance, participant rights and protections, documentation and billing. It emphasizes the delivery of person-centered modifications that enhance safety, accessibility, and functional independence, allowing individuals to remain in their homes and communities more comfortably and securely. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home modification service providers in Washington D.C., ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and effective services that promote independence and improve the quality of life for residents.
