We talk that in Spain, more than four million people live with some type of physical, sensory or psychic disability, according to the latest reports of the State Observatory of Disability. This important group faces everyday barriers that go beyond the usual difficulties in the housing market, such as accessibility within their homes or their location in environments adapted to their specific needs.
This is where maximum amounts are usually established depending on the concept. For example, in Asturias the limit amount for the adaptation of the bathrooms will be 2,000 euros, while to install adequate doors the maximum is 1,500 euros. Or in the Basque Country, where the maximum to be received to adapt the bathroom is 6,000 euros.
Installation of ramps and elevators, bathrooms or kitchens adapted
In this sense, you aid like these of the Government are those that cover a wide range of interventions, from the installation of ramps and elevators to the adaptation of bathrooms and kitchens. It is true that depending on the autonomous community in which these amounts are resided, they can be greater or minor. This, because each administration has its own aid program for the rehabilitation of buildings and improvement of accessibility.
For example, in the Community of Madrid its Adapta Madrid 2025 is in force, aimed at promoting the adaptation of housing and premises located on the ground floor for people with disabilities and rare diseases. In its case, the initiative allows to cover between 40% and 90% of the cost of the works.

Other communities, such as Catalonia, Aragon and the Valencian Community, have also enabled specific subsidies to improve accessibility in private homes. In Catalonia, there are programs for the change of bathroom by shower and the functional adaptation of the home. Aragon promotes aids aimed at eliminating architectural barriers in housing from the elderly and with disabilities. And in Valencia, subsidies for the adequacy of housing and the promotion of personal autonomy are promoted.
