technical plans for a house

If you own your home you are usually responsible for carrying out repairs and improvements. Your landlord is usually responsible for major repairs if you rent your home.

You may be able to get a grant from the Housing Executive to carry out repairs to maintain the standard of your home.

Housing Executive and housing association tenants can't apply for a grant. Contact your local District Office or your housing association if you need your home repaired.

Who can apply?

Each grant has different rules about who can apply. You must usually be over 18 and own or rent the property. Housing Executive and housing association tenants can't apply for a home improvement grant. More >

Applying for a grant

You must apply for a grant in writing. There are two stages – preliminary and formal. You must get formal approval from the Housing Executive before starting any work. More >

Will I always get a grant?

You can always apply for a disabled facilities grant and a repairs grant. The Housing Executive targets the other grants at people, areas and properties that need the most help. More >

What grants are available?

There are seven grants available to help you keep, repair or improve your home. Which grants are available depends on the type of work needed, your personal circumstances and the area you live in. More >

How much will I get?

The amount of money available depends on the type of grant you apply for, the amount of work that needs to be carried out and your circumstances. A grant isn't guaranteed to cover the actual cost of the building work. More >

Grants complaints
