Top up of mandatory disabled facilities grants in the Ryedale area

If you are disabled or elderly, you can apply for a disabled facilities grant to adapt your home. Find out what you can apply for and how to apply.

Our occupational therapy team has grants available to help and works together with the White Rose Home Improvement Agency to decide who can have a grant. 

The grant can be used to:

  • make it easier for you to get in and out of your home
  • improve access to your living room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom
  • make sure your bathroom, sleeping and kitchen facilities meet your needs
  • adapt heating and lighting controls so they are easier for you to use
  • provide you with adequate heating for your medical condition
  • make your home safer

We will visit your home to assess your needs. If you meet the criteria, our home improvement agency will assess the work, get quotes, approve the grant application and oversee the whole process for you.

If you are a tenant or homeowner, you could get up to £30,000 to pay for adaptations, depending on your situation. Grants are means tested.

If you are unsuccessful, we can still support you through the adaptation process.
