Grant for Assessment and Project Planning

In Brief

If you or someone in your household has a disability and needs to make adaptations to your home, you can apply for a grant to cover professional project planning assistance, such as services provided by an architect.

Description

The grant for assessment can be used to evaluate the following aspects:

  • Possibilities and limitations of the existing home
  • Outdoor areas and access
  • Indoor accessibility
  • Space requirements
  • Interior design and usability
The grant for project planning can cover the costs of professional assistance, such as fees for an architect or another qualified expert. The municipality will do an estimate over wether you have the financial means to fund the adaptation themselves or require a loan and/or grant from the municipality.

Target Group

  • People with disabilities
  • Elderly individuals who wish to undertake preventive adaptation measures

Criteria

  • The assessment and project planning must be carried out by a qualified professional.
  • Your financial situation will influence whether you qualify for a housing adaptation grant.
