Overview
Housing Adaptation Grants for Disabled People
The Housing Adaptation Grant for Disabled People is a grant for people with a physical, sensory, mental health or intellectual disability. It provides funding so you can improve how you enter and move around your home.
Housing Aid for Older People Grant
The Housing Aid for Older People Grant is for essential repairs to improve the condition of an older person's home so they can continue to live there. It is aimed at people aged 66 and older, who are living in poor housing conditions. However, in cases of genuine hardship the local authority may help people under the age of 66.
If you have a disability and your home needs to be adapted to make it more accessible, the Housing Adaptation Grant for Disabled People or the Mobility Aids Grant Scheme may be more suitable for you. These grants are all administered by local authorities.
Mobility Aids Grant Scheme
The Mobility Aids Grant Scheme helps you pay for basic work to address mobility issues you are having at home. For example, if you are having difficulty getting into the bath or shower, the grant could cover the cost of installing an accessible shower.
The scheme is for older people and people with disabilities.
