Celebrating International Day of Persons with Disabilities!!
Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Circle Voluntary Housing Association reaffirm our commitment to supporting our tenants with disabilities in every way we can.
We work hand-in-hand with local authorities and partner with a range of organisations to ensure that our tenants can live comfortably and independently in homes that meet their unique needs. The following is a list of supports and services available to you.
Adaptation Grants:
Did you know that local authorities offer adaptation grants to help make homes more accessible? These grants can assist with modifications like ramps, stairlifts, and more. For more details, visit your local authority website or check the Citizens Information Board page on Housing Adaptation Grants.
