The help available depends on the type of works to be carried out and ownership and occupation of the property. It may be possible to receive more than one type of help in some cases.
Details of the help and methods we use to improve privately owned properties in Craven are included in our Craven housing renewal policy. If you are renting your property from a social landlord, such as Yorkshire Housing or Sanctuary Group, and have concerns about the condition of your property, contact your landlord first.
