Written answers

My Department provides funding under the disabled persons grant, DPG, scheme to local authorities for adaptations and extensions to the existing social housing stock to meet the needs of local authority tenants. The scheme applies to adaptations that are necessary to address the needs of older people or people with a disability who may require stair-lifts, grab-rails, showers, wet-rooms or ramps etc. My Department also provides funding for extensions that might arise in relation to overcrowding or to facilitate the installation of a downstairs bedroom or bathroom. 90% of the cost is provided by my Department, with local authorities covering the remaining 10% from within their own resources.

The funding provided by my Department to local authorities for the scheme in 2017 is set out below:
