PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This scope of Services is based on the proposal prepared and submitted by the Subrecipient through the City of

Community Development Block Grant program consistent with the program delivery stated in the approved

I
mpairments. The individuals served under this project will live in the City of Fort Worth, can be of any age, must
have a mobility impairment requiring the use of a ramp, be low income based on Federal Income Guidelines, be a

to Housing Department staff for an environmental study and approval before construction. Building permits will
be obtained through the City of Fort Worth Permit and Development Department when required based on
building specs. Each ramp will be built to the ramp specifications outlined in the ADA Accessibility Guidelines
and city requirements. The construction of each ramp will take place at the residence of the individual being

COUNCIL DISTRICT (S) -ALL
PROGRAM GOALS
REACH's goal under this project is to increase the independent living status of low income individuals with
mobility impairments by building 18 to 21 ramps at their place of residence.
PROGRAM OB„jECTIVES
The primary objective of this project is to provide the opportunity for individuals with mobility impairments to
remain productive citizens with the aid of a ramp, which is often one of the most basic requirements individuals
need to maintain their independence in a residential setting. A ramp aids in preventing injury to die individual
when entering/exiting the home. A ramp also makes it easier for family members, friends, health care workers,
and transportation providers to assist the individual. A ramp enables them to come and go as they choose so that
they can go to work, attend religious services, visit the doctor, go grocery shopping, etc. Through this project we
intend to assist these individuals in becoming less dependent on others in the community, give them the
opportunity to get out and participated in community life and improve their physical and mental well being.
PROGRAM SERVICES and ACTIVITIES GOALS
Construction of ramps at the home of low income individuals with mobility impairments. 18 to 21
Construction will take place Monday — Satwrday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm A unit of service ramps
