Local authorities, together with other agencies, may provide homes at a reduced price for first-time buyers who are looking to purchase a new or second-hand property or build their own home.
Local authorities may provide grants to those who own their own home to buy and install grab rails, level access showers, access ramps and stair lifts.
Local authorities publish reports to provide details of how they comply with the Public Spending Code to maintain proper standards and get value for money where public money is being spent or invested.
