Description

Oxford City Home Improvement Agency (HIA) is dedicated to helping older, disabled and vulnerable residents within Oxford City to live safely and independently in their own home. The agency service is available to people who are vulnerable and need help repairing, maintaining or adapting their home.

The Regulatory Reform (Housing Assistance) (England and Wales) Order 2002 policy is delivered by the Council through an in-house Home Improvement Agency (HIA) who are contracted by the Oxfordshire County Council and Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group to deliver additional services that enable people to remain in their home.

The Council is duty bound to approve and pay complete applications made under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 for mandatory Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG). A DFG is a means tested grant with a maximum limit of £30,000 for essential housing adaptations to help disabled people stay in their own homes.

The main funding for DFGs now comes from pooled budget arrangements between top tier local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) via the Better Care Fund (BCF). The Better Care Fund was announced by the Government in the June 2013 spending round as part of the transformation in integrated health and social care.
