About

Durham County Council awarded a contract to Believe Housing for home improvement and adaptation payments under the Disabled Facilities Grant.

The council receives approximately £6.1 million annually for the grant.

Under a stock transfer agreement, Believe Housing had funded its own adaptations 100% since transfer, but from 1st April 2022 that responsibility returned to Durham County Council.

The proposal involved Believe Housing making a 50% contribution towards adaptation costs as a goodwill gesture, saving the council 50% of works costs.

Believe Housing requested use of its own contractors and staff to deliver adaptations to its stock for continuity of service, with Durham County Council making the 50% contribution from its Disabled Facilities Grant allocation.

The contract value is £500,000.
