Housing Grants

Housing Grants are available from Leitrim County Council to eligible applicants as follows:

(a) The Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability is available to assist in the carrying out of works which are reasonably necessary for the purposes of rendering a house more suitable for the accommodation of a person with a disability who has an enduring physical, sensory, mental health or intellectual impairment.   

(b) The Housing Aid for Older People Grant is available to assist older people living in poor housing conditions to have necessary repairs or improvements carried out. Leitrim County Council may pay a grant for the carrying out of necessary repairs or improvements to a house where, in our opinion, we consider the repairs or improvements reasonably necessary to make habitable the house for the lifetime of the occupant.

(c) The Mobility Aids Housing Grant Scheme is available to cover a basic suite of works to address mobility problems, primarily, but not exclusively, associated with ageing.
