Useful resources for local authorities interested in expanding financial support for home improvements

The Centre of Ageing Better have published three reports with Foundations, the national body for Disabled Facilities Grants and Home Improvement Agencies in England, to better understand how local authorities are financially supporting individuals to make changes to their home despite an extremely challenging context for public budgets.

Foundations collaborated with five local authorities across England, each with varying budgets, governance structures and demographics, and the research demonstrates local authorities’ range of contexts and challenges.
