HOUSING OPTIONS GUIDE - CHAPTER 8

8. SPECIAL NEEDS CAPITAL GRANT

In addition to the registered housing association developments supported by Communities Scotland, a Special Needs Capital Grant (SNCG) is also available to housing providers which are not registered with Communities Scotland. These can be in the non-profit and commercial sectors to contribute towards the capital costs of new buildings, or for the renovation to properties which are to be used for community care purposes for at least ten years and contribute to the local community care strategy. The grant will not exceed 40 per cent of the total capital costs; some exceptions can, in special circumstances, however, be made to increase above this level the percentage available for voluntary organisations.
