Private sector housing grants
The private housing improvement team deals with grants relating to adaptations for disabled occupants, removal of minor hazards in the home, home security and energy efficiency.
There are also grants for landlords to bring empty properties back into use or convert redundant commercial property to residential use.
We offer a range of grants and loans and the services of the Tower Hamlets Home Improvement Agency, which was set up by the council to help elderly, disabled or low-income homeowners and private tenants to apply for grants and loans. This financial assistance is for improving or repairing domestic properties or to carry out adaptations to enable you to remain safe and independent in your own home.
Qualifying criteria varies between schemes so please check the details for each grant:
- disabled facilities grants – available to owner-occupiers, private tenants and landlords
- landlord improvement grants - available to landlords who meet specific criteria
