Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment his Department has made on the availability of adapted housing for people with disabilities in Walsall.

DLUHC does not hold data on the availability of adapted housing in Walsall.

However, local authorities including Walsall have a statutory duty to provide home adaptations to eligible disabled people, subject to a means test and assessment of need through the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

On 10 May, DLUHC provided each local authority with their allocation of the £573 million funding for the DFG for 2023/24. Walsall received £4,202,771.
