People living with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the United States may qualify for housing assistance because MS is considered a disability. Government programs such as public housing, rent vouchers, and homeownership vouchers can help reduce housing costs for those who meet income requirements. When choosing a home, it’s important to consider accessibility needs now and in the future, including wheelchair access, potential home modifications, proximity to support, and space for caregivers. If accessible homes are difficult to find, modifications such as ramps, stairlifts, roll-in showers, and grab bars can improve safety and mobility, and various loans, grants, and housing programs may help cover the cost of these upgrades.
