Frequently asked questions
How many accessibility grants are there in Canada right now?
19 verified programs are open as of our latest checks: 18 grants and rebates and 1 other support such as a specialized program, across 16 cities and towns in 6 provinces and territories. Most are municipal, so your address decides which ones apply. Programs open and close through the year, and every record shows the date we last verified it.
Do these programs cover the full cost?
Rarely. Most are cost-share programs: they pay a percentage of eligible costs up to a cap, and you pay the rest. Many also require approval before you buy or sign anything, because spending first can disqualify the whole project. Each record spells out the rules we found.
What if my city isn't listed?
Not every city runs a program, and programs open, close and reopen through the year. Some cities also fund through broader community-improvement plans we may list under a different name. Check your city's own website, or run our free funding fit check and we'll look at what applies to your address.
Who approves these applications?
Each program's administrator, usually the government body or organization that runs it, and never us. BBN Labs is an independent Canadian company, not a government agency. Applying through the official program site is always free.
