Grants for private houses application forms.
What are the grants for?
The Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability are available to help older people and people with a disability living in a privately-owned home. These grants are used to carry out works to make the property more suitable for the person with a disability who is a member of the household.
Assessment and eligibility
All applications for grant aid under the Housing Adaptation Grants Scheme are assessed based on household means. To be considered eligible for a grant, you must:
• have the grant application approved before the work starts on the home,
• live in the home when the work is completed,
• have your tax affairs in order,
• show that the Local Property Tax for the home is in order.
We recommend that you have a clear service charges account when applying for a Housing Adaptation Grant to ensure the payment of any grant is not affected.
