Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

In line with the commitment in Rebuilding Ireland: Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, it is my intention to provide funding to support 10,000 homes under the Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People with a Disability in 2017. Allocations for next year under the grants scheme will be announced in due course.
