Currently the Private Sector Housing Unit provide assistance to over 2200 properties a year, either via grant aid or the installation of minor works of adaptation.

Individual schemes can range in value from GBP50 for minor adaptations to in excess of GBP 25k for large renovation or adaption projects.
