Under my Department's Housing Aid for Older People grant scheme, which is administered by individual local authorities, grants of up to €10, 500 are payable, subject to certain conditions, in respect of works which are deemed necessary for making habitable the homes of older people. Grant eligible works include structural repairs and improvements, repairs to/replacement of windows and doors, and the provision of heating and sanitary services. It is a matter for the local authority to determine the eligibility of applicants and the type of works proposed in individual cases.
