Details of the funding allocated to each local authority for 2016 in respect of the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability, encompassing the Housing Aid for Older People, the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability and the Mobility Aids Grant, are available on my Department’s website at the following link: .

The detailed administration of these grant schemes is the responsibility of the relevant local authority, including the assessment and approval of grants to applicants and allocations under the various grant measures, which are not pre-determined and are demand-led.

It is expected that over 8,000 households will benefit from the schemes in 2016.
