can i get government help to add a room on my home for my elderly parents?

Published by admin on December 29, 2010

I have elderly parents and they can not stay alone anymore. I want to add a room on to my home for them to move into. But doing so will cost a lot of money. Can the government help me by giving me a grant for the remainder of the cost?

Try Rotary Kinsmen or a church group

    I don’t know about that. You might just search government grants for the elderly or something like that. My parents built on to their house for one of my grandmothers. However, they used the money from the sale of her house to build on her granny flat.

    G, call or go down to city hall and check with affordable housing and housing rehabilation.
    There are grants and loans for home repairs and room additions.

    The government is not capable of understanding such a reasonable request. Try private charities , they are staffed with people who really understand and at least want to do good.

    Unfortunately, probably not. You can, however, preferably with their permission, apply for conservatorship, or guardianship, or both, for them. This will involve at least one visit to an attorney who specializes in such things. If the parents are agreeable, it should be easy. Then you will have access to their assets to use to apply for a loan for the addition.
