Community Development Long Island

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live safely and independently at home.

Through CDLI's Access to Home for Heroes Program, eligible veterans and individuals with mobility limitations may receive up to $25,000 in forgivable loan funding for accessibility modifications that improve safety, mobility, and quality of life.

These improvements can help make everyday activities easier while allowing residents to remain in the homes and communities they love.

Life can change unexpectedly.

Many homeowners fall behind on their mortgage due to circumstances beyond their control, including:
• Loss of income or employment
• Unexpected medical expenses
• A death in the family
• Increased escrow payments
• Unexpected home repairs

The good news is that help is available.

CDLI provides free housing counseling services to help homeowners understand their options, access available assistance programs, and develop a path toward housing stability.

You do not have to face these challenges alone.
