The Disabled Facilities Grants and Additional Grants Policy had been updated to reflect legislative and operational changes, to improve the clarity between the mandatory and discretionary grants and increase the discretionary limit. The Policy did not deal with adaptations in Council property which was subject to a separate policy.
RESOLVED that the updated Disabled Facilities and Additional Grants Policy be approved.
Reason
This is in accordance with the Council’s Corporate Priority of Housing to provide a good quality home for everyone by responding to need and to facilitate adaptations for disabled people in the private sector.
