The State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (PFRON) is offering up to 144,000 PLN in 2026 to cover 95% of costs for home accessibility renovations, provided specific legal procedures are followed.
Removing Architectural Barriers
In 2026, PFRON provides financial support to individuals with disabilities for projects that eliminate architectural barriers within their homes. The program is designed to facilitate daily living by covering significant portions of costs for structural modifications, such as bathroom renovations, ramp installations, or threshold removal.
Eligible Works vs. Cosmetic Upgrades
The program does not fund standard interior refreshing or purely aesthetic work. Eligible projects focus strictly on accessibility, such as installing walk-in showers, lowering kitchen counters, or widening doorways. Expenses like replacing tiles for style or decorative wall painting will not be covered by the fund.
Application and Funding Criteria
Grant limits are determined by 15 times the average salary, which currently allows for a maximum of 144,782.85 PLN. Applicants must meet specific conditions to qualify, and in the case of rented properties, the landlord’s consent for planned modifications is required.
Avoiding Procedural Pitfalls
Applications are managed by local PFRON units rather than the central office, and documentation requirements can vary by region. A critical rule for all applicants is to avoid starting any renovation work before the official application process and approvals are completed, as early commencement can lead to the rejection of funding.
