RESPONDER 2 RESPONDER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
HEART 9/11 has come to recognize the overwhelming health needs of first responders and building trades members due to their
line of duty illness or injuries, especially
those caused by 9/11 participation.
Through the Responder 2 Responder Assistance Program, we will utilize our veteran home build experience to address the needs of our first responders.
We retrofit homes to increase accessibility. Here are some of the proposed adaptations that can be accomplished, at no cost to the recipient:
Bedroom lift
Widen doorways
Remove raised floor saddles
Wheel-in showers
Walk-in bathtubs
Lowered countertops
Wheelchair accessible deck/ramps
Stair chair lifts, and
Handrails/grab bars
