shower-only for safer access. The fiberglass is refinished to look like new, and a custom glass shower door enclosure is installed. Toilets can be replaced with high-boy models, and grab bars may be added as needed.

The program is made possible through a grant from HUD, Orange County and the City of Seal Beach. To qualify, applicants must be over 55 years of age and have an annual income below $75,300 if you live alone, or the limit is $86,050 per year for a two-person household. Savings do not disqualify you.

“Many residents get confused about the application process,” said Monique Miner of CivicStone, which administers the program.

CivicStone was hired by the City of Seal Beach 15 years ago to facilitate the bathroom grant program.

“Residents don’t realize you can have substantial savings and still qualify for the free upgrade,” Miner said. “We are just a phone call away and can help residents apply for the completely free upgrade. But don’t delay completing your application, because funds are limited.”
