My Department’s Capital Assistance Scheme provides funding to approved housing bodies, through the local authorities, of up to 100% of the approved costs of accommodation for people with specific categories of housing need, including older persons, people with an intellectual, physical or mental health disability, the homeless, returning emigrants and victims of domestic violence.

More specific details for local communities who are interested in developing independent living facilities in their areas can be accessed through their local authority.
