LWers eligible for bathroom renovations

GRANT FUNDING

As a part of the federal response to the pandemic, additional grant funds were made available to the City of Seal Beach for bathroom renovations in Leisure World. The funding is supplied through the Community Development Block Grant program.

The city applied for these one-time funds to temporarily expand the existing bathroom renovation program it currently offers in Leisure World to facilitate aging in place.

The program converts bathtubs to allow for walk-in access, adds grab bars, shower seating, and other similar improvements. Eligible applicants for this program must be Seal Beach residents aged 55 or over and be income-qualified.

Income eligibility varies by the number of residents in the household. For more information, call 909- 364- 9000 or refer to the city’s website at www.sealbeachca.gov.
