The grant is intended to help fund essential adaptations to the disabled person’s home, such as:
- Make access easier to dwellings such as installing wider doors or ramps
- Improve access within the dwelling such as installing a stairlift
- Improve access to the kitchen, toilet, washbasin and bathing facilities, this may include provision of a downstairs bathroom
- Improve or provide a heating system suitable to the needs of the disabled person
- Adapt heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use
- Improve access and movement around the home to enable the disabled person to care for another person who lives in the property
- Ensure the safety of the disabled person and other occupants for example by providing a specially adapted room

If you or someone living in your property is disabled, you may qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant towards the cost of providing adaptations and facilities to enable the disabled person to continue to live there.

An applicant must either be the owner of the dwelling, a tenant or a landlord may apply on behalf of a disabled tenant.

Before applying for a grant you will need to organise an assessment by an Occupational Therapist from Hampshire County Council. To arrange an assessment call Social Services Direct on 0300 555 1378.
