Housing Assistance and Disabled Adaptations Policy

 

Yes

Due to the variations in approach towards the method of delivery of the disabled facilities grant, there were also some subtle variations between the legacy areas in relation to their policy approach and their interpretation and implementation of legislation. Whilst all areas are using the powers and flexibilities given within the legislation, there has been some variation in terms of scope of works undertaken along with differences in financial thresholds and parameters adopted. The report will outline how the policy seeks to draw together an interpretation of the mandatory elements of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) legislation and the discretionary elements of the RRO into a single published document. The report will therefore sets out the key recommendations for the policy and seek agreement to adopt the North Yorkshire Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy for the new authority.
