Adaptation Grants for Private Home Owners

Housing adaptation grants for older people and people with a disability in adapting their homes

Applications will be prioritised on the basis of medical need and will be subject to the availability of funding. 

There are three grants available for older people and people with disabilities to help make their home safer and easier to get around. The grants are:

 

  • Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability 
  • Mobility Aids Grant 
  • Housing Aid for Older People Grant

 

Applicants who are seeking a grant for anything that is available from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) e.g. roof insulation, wall insulation, boiler and heating control upgrades, solar panels, etc should contact the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) on 1850 927000 for more information, as these works will not be grant aided under the Housing Grants Schemes.

Meath County Council does not endorse, recommend, or represent any of the listed contractors and you are free to use any contractor of your choosing.

All contractors must be tax compliant and, in a position to supply their Tax Reference Number and their Tax Clearance Access Number, if they are engaged by an applicant.
