Hello bobfeder-ga,

I just noticed your question now; I'm surprised that none of the other
Researchers noticed it earlier.  I hope that the information I provide
is still helpful to you and your wife.

The federal government has a web site called DisabilityInfo.gov (
http://disabilityinfo.gov ), which includes a section on housing (
http://www.disabilityinfo.gov/Housing/ ).  You might want to click on
the links to see what looks most useful to you.  The best links I
found were these:

"Vouchers for People with Disabilities"
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/hcv/pwd/

"Modification Funds"
HUD
http://www.hud.gov/library/bookshelf09/modifica.cfm

Pennsylvania has a similar web site called Accessible PA (
http://www.accessiblepa.state.pa.us/accessiblepa/site/default.asp ),
which likewise has a section on housing (
http://www.accessiblepa.state.pa.us/accessiblepa/cwp/browse.asp?a=2&bc=0&c=15876&accessiblepaNav=|244|
).  This page includes a link to loan program for modification or
purchase of homes for persons with disabilities:

"PHFA/Fannie Mae Disability Access Modification Loan Program"
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency
http://www.phfa.org/fanniemae/index.htm

I hope that this works out well for both of you.
