How to apply for WRAAA NailsIt! — home repairs and accessibility modifications (Cuyahoga County)
Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging (WRAAA, Cleveland), funded by Cuyahoga County ARPA funds
Who it's for
Essential home repairs and safety modifications for Cuyahoga County homeowners who are 60 or older or an adult living with a physical disability and cannot handle or afford the work themselves. NailsIt! prioritizes practical updates: grab bars, toilet rails, ADA-compliant toilets, accessible showers, stair rails, and single window replacements — the changes that let people keep living safely and independently at home. You must own and live in the home and have a low to moderate income. To apply, call (216) 453-8359 or email NailsIt@areaagingsolutions.org.
WRAAA sets the income test ("low to moderate income") at application and publishes no dollar figure; the income screen used here is a deliberately generous editorial bound. The program is funded by Cuyahoga County ARPA money, so it runs while that funding lasts — call (216) 453-8359 to confirm it is still taking applications.
What you'll need
- Proof of age 60+ or proof of a physical disability
- Proof that you own and live in the home (deed or tax bill plus ID)
- Proof of household income
- Proof of Cuyahoga County residency
