The Ramp Project

The Ramp Project provides ramps for people with disabilities on a sliding fee scale.  Many times this project makes the difference between an individual coming home or living in an institution.  The ramps are modular, made of wood, require no footings, and can be temporary or more permanent.  Ramps are installed by a project supervisor and community volunteers, this makes them cost effective (about a third of what it costs to have a typical contractor build one).

Once you apply and you are found to qualify for the project, our ramp project supervisor will do a site visit to see if a ramp is your best solution.  If your home is "rampable" he will design your ramp (if you require something special NOW is the time to let him know).  The ramp project coordinator will give you an estimate for the ramp and get your authorization to put up the ramp.  Once the ramp is completed CILNM will bill you or you may purchase the ramp outright.

             

This project is a multiple year NOD Community Awards Competition winner

Please note ~ this is a community funded project, we are able to install ramps only as there is funding available.
