To help Sausalito residents age 60 or older make their home a safer place, the City's Community Development Department has teamed up with Age Friendly Sausalito to create the Age Friendly Home Adaptation Grant Program. This new program offers reduced-fee or no-cost building permits for home modifications like entry ramps and handrails. Without the grant program, the building permit fee for a new entry ramp could be as high as $350. Younger adults with a disability are also eligible for the program.

For residents interested in learning more about the new grant program, a workshop will be held in the Council Chambers at Sausalito City Hall from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 14. Speakers include Age-Friendly Architect Michael Sheats, Age Friendly Sausalito Chair Sybil Boutilier, and Sausalito Building Inspector Kenneth Henry.
