Housing grants

Disabled residents can apply for up to £30,000 to adapt their homes to help them to maintain an independent lifestyle. 

This grant is available for homeowners or tenants living in either private or housing association properties.

The grant can cover works such as:

• Improving access to rooms and facilities. This might mean, for example, stairlifts, level access showers and door widening
• Adapting heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use
• Providing a heating system that suits your needs
• Improving the entrances to your home and access to your garden.

A top-up grant is also available should essential work exceed the £30,000 limit.
