Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-21457 by Kevin Stewart on 19 February 2019, how residents and owners in non-registered social landlord (RSL) properties can find out about the grants and support that are available.
Answer
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 requires local authorities to prepare a statement of assistance detailing the forms of assistance provided, including adaptations and the provision of grants, and the criteria for providing assistance for home owners and private tenants (including tenants of unregistered social landlords).
Statements are available on local authority websites and many Councils also publish information sheets in other formats for specific audiences (easy read, braille, languages other than English ).
