Disabled Facilities Grants

Eastleigh Borough Council provide disabled facilities grants to adapt homes for people who are, or could be, registered disabled and who, without the adaptation, would be unable to live independently.

Applicants must be referred by an Occupational Therapist and they can be contacted by telephoning Hampshire County Council's Occupational Therapy Direct on 0845 600 4555.

Typical disabled facilities grant works include:-

• Installing stair lifts
• Replacing a bath with a level access shower
• Widening doorways
• Providing ramps

You can apply for a disabled facilities grant if you own your own home, rent or live with family.
