Changing the way government allocates Disabled Facilities Grant funding to local authorities in England
Applies to England
Consultation description
Government has concluded a review of the way we allocate Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) funding to local authorities in England. This follows a 2018 independent review of the DFG. It recommended that the way government allocates funding to local authorities should be updated.
We are now consulting on a new approach that will:
- better support local authorities to meet their statutory duty to provide adaptations
- ensure funding is better aligned with local demand
We welcome responses from local authorities across England and organisations and individuals with an interest.
This consultation fulfils our commitment to review and consult on a new DFG allocations formula in 2025, as set out in the Better Care Fund policy framework.
