Disabled Facilities Grants - Housing Assistance Policy
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 19th December, 2024 7.00 pm - December 19, 2024
Councils across England are required by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 to offer Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) to people who qualify. These grants are mandatory but they are restricted to helping people with disabilities to adapt their homes to make them accessible and more suitable for their needs. The funding for these grants comes from central Government via the Better Care Fund. If a Council wishes to offer financial assistance towards anything other than DFGs they have to adopt and publish a Housing Assistance Policy giving full details of the assistance they will offer to householders in their area for property adaptation, improvement or repair. Thanet District Council adopted such a Policy in 2019 and this policy is now due for review.
Recommendations approved
