Important Notice for Ramp Requests
The Texas Ramp Project accepts referrals only from qualified organizations and healthcare professionals. If you or a family member need a wheelchair ramp, please do not apply directly. Instead, reach out to your healthcare provider, social worker, or a community organization to submit a referral on your behalf.
Wait Time for a Wheelchair Ramp:
We are working very hard to fulfill all ramp requests as quickly as possible but unfortunately, due to high referral volumes and the availability of volunteer staff in your area, construction of a wheelchair ramp may take 3–6 months or longer in certain areas. If this wait time is TOO LONG for you to wait, please do not submit an application.
Ramp Referral Qualifications and Requirements
Please review the following qualifications before submitting a referral. Referrals that do not meet these requirements will not be processed.
