My Department’s involvement with the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. These schemes, introduced in November 2007, are funded by 80% recoupments available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority.
Details of the number of grants paid each year are set out in Table 1. Details of the level of Exchequer funding provided to each Local Authority in respect of the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability, together with the level of Local Authority funds provided in each case over the period 2007 – 2012, are set out at Table 2.
