More than £120 million of Government funding is being made available to help disabled
people adapt their homes through the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) from 2006-07.
Funds for next year will be £103.3 million, a 2.1% increase compared with 2004-05.

Alongside this boost to funding, the Government is undertaking a fundamental review
of how the DFG programme is administered.

A working party including officials from the ODPM, Department of Health and the 
Department for Education and Skills together with key stakeholders involved in delivering
housing adaptations will report back in May 2005 with recommendations to improve
the fairness and efficient delivery of the programme.
