Housing Grants
Maintaining a house or flat in a good condition is ultimately the responsibility of the owner(s). It is in their interest to carry out necessary repairs and improvements to keep the home in good condition and maintain its value.
However, the government and Scottish Ministers are committed to making sure that everyone has decent, house they can afford. Poor housing can affect people's health, it may be a danger to the public and it has a negative effect on the local environment. It is recognised that some people may need assistance with arranging for improvements and Perth and Kinross Council, like all councils, has published a Scheme of Assistance (see link on right-hand side of this page).
In the meantime some mandatory grants remain available for home adaptations for disabled people or where a Statutory Notice has been served on a property, but all other discretionary grants have been stopped in Perth and Kinross.
