Due to a funding shortfall, the Housing Executive is currently prioritising grants awards. This means that the only grants which will be approved in the current climate are the Disabled Facilities Grant and the Repairs Grant. Find out more about 'prioritisation of grants'.

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.
