Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs)

Home Improvement Agencies are not for profit organisations that assist vulnerable homeowners or private sector tenants who are older, disabled or on low income to repair, improve, maintain or adapt their home. By improving people's living conditions, HIAs enhance their quality of life and enable them to remain in their home in greater comfort and security. They also offer a wide range of services, providing advice to clients and have become involved with many local authority schemes.

Please contact your local Borough or District Council for information on Home Improvement Agencies, or use the following links which will open in a new window:
