| Annotation | The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) commissioned Foundations to carry out research examining options for the future delivery of home improvement agency (HIA) services. This report examines the effect of recent changes to the Disabled Facilities Grant programme, drawing on research carried out within the home improvement agency sector. It looks at the challenges presented by the complexity of the process, the funding shortages, and the lack of partnership working. The report asks why HIAs are needed to deliver adaptations, and spells out how adaptations can move from a provider-led to a client-led process. The report includes examples of innovation and good practice in delivering major adaptations, and makes recommendations for the future development of HIAs in relation to delivering major adaptations.
