Grants for home improvements are now available for private homes.

Under the Council’s financial assistance policy, a grant of up to £5,000 can be used for areas of a home that do not meet the Decent Homes Standard and that may affect the health or safety of people living there.

Typical projects could include extra insulation, roof repairs or replacement doors and windows.

Normally, if you have lived in your home for 3 years or more, if there are children under 16 years or disabled or older persons living at the house, and you receive certain means tested benefits then you could qualify.

You can only qualify if you own your own home or are a private tenant with responsibility for repairs and maintenance of your home.

For an initial chat about what might be available to you, the Council’s Decent Homes Officer will be at Metheringham Info-links on Thursday 7th December 2006, 9am-12. For further details of Decent Homes grants, please see www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/decenthomes or phone 01529 414155 and ask for the Housing Renewal Section.
