• be the owner of the property

• be aged over 65 and/or have a member of your family living with you who is disabled (disabled residents must be referred by an Occupational Therapist)

More information and conditions of applying can be found in the housing assistance policy at the bottom of this page.

What is the grant for

The grant will cover the cost of

• legal fees
• estate agents fees
• stamp duty
• removal costs.

The grant is to help with the cost of moving and not the cost of purchasing a property.

Amount available

The amount of grant available is up to a maximum of £3,000.

This grant is only for if we think that moving to alternative accommodation provides a better long-term solution than adapting or repairing your existing home.
