The organisation provides appropriate support to residents who require changes to the fabric of their home to make it safe, taking into account their age and / or disability.  It has a clear understanding with relevant local authorities about the use of the Disabled Facilities Grant to fund the cost of aids and adaptations in its properties.  The organisation provides residents with assistance in making applications for these grants, coordinating effectively with other professionals, including occupational therapists and planners.  The funds are used to speed up the rate, or increase the scope, of changes to better meet the needs of tenants.
