Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that most public and commercial facilities be accessible to people with a broad range of disabilities. The town is committed to, and working toward, the removal of architectural barriers throughout Smithtown.
Advice and technical assistance are available to residents and business owners who are planning accessibility improvements. The Office for People with Disabilities can direct you to the appropriate town department.

Through the Senior Citizen Home Maintenance Program, senior citizens may be eligible for grants for accessibility improvements, depending on income and the scope of work needed. Call the Sr. Citizens Department at (631) 360-7615 for information.
