We can sometimes provide grants and assistance for eligible homeowners, landlords and private tenants of properties within the Ipswich borough boundary. Ipswich grants service is managed within the council, ‘Independent Living Ipswich’ and provides a fully supported process for the Disabled facilities grants, assisting with applications, and managing the process to completion.

Applicants may choose to engage the services of other agencies to manage their grant journey.

Grants currently available include:

• Disabled adaptations grant
• Renovation grant
• Empty Homes Renovation Grant
• First Time Buyer's Empty Homes Renovation Grant
• Discretionary Disabled Facilities Grant

NEW - The Discretionary Disabled Facilities Grant is a new initiative that provides a better and simplified process to speed up adaptations, removing the need for a means test for minor adaptations. Click on the link above for further details
