We know you’re trusting us with someone who needs help, and we take that responsibility seriously.
After you submit a referral, here’s what your client can expect:

A member of the SAWs team will contact the applicant to discuss their needs, answer questions, and explain the next steps.
2. We Review Eligibility
We’ll verify that the applicant meets our program guidelines, including mobility need, income qualifications, and homeownership or landlord permission.
3. We Schedule a Home Assessment
If the applicant qualifies, we’ll arrange a site visit to evaluate the home and determine feasibility and safe ramp design.
4. We Plan the Project
Once approved, our team coordinates volunteers, materials, and scheduling. Build timelines vary depending on funding, volunteer availability, weather, and the current project queue.
5. We Build the Ramp
Our trained volunteers construct a safe, ADA-informed wheelchair ramp that helps your client regain safe access to their home and community.
