Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what will be the total amount available under the Disability Facilities Grant fund in 2016–17.
Helping disabled people to live independently in their own homes for longer through adaptations remains a key priority for this Government. The Government will have invested just over a billion pounds into the Disabled Facilities Grant between 2011-12 and 2015-16. This has delivered around 200,000 adaptations to the homes of disabled people. Future funding for the Disabled Facilities Grant is a matter for the Spending Review.
