Just under 200,000 euro in funding for social housing adaptations has been announced for Co Monaghan.
Local councillor, Richard Truell said this will help address the needs of older people, people with a disability and overcrowding.
Councillor Richard Truell said €23m in funding is being provided for local authorities across Ireland to carry out adaptations, extensions and other improvements to their existing social housing stock.
He said he was delighted to see that 195,949 euro has been allocated for County Monaghan.
The Disabled Persons Grant ensures homes are adapted to allow older people and those with disabilities to continue living independently, while also addressing overcrowding.
The scheme funds essential home modifications for people with mobility or disability needs.
These include minor adaptations like stair-lifts, ramps, and grab rails, larger projects such as extensions to reduce overcrowding as well as creating accessible spaces like a downstairs bedroom, ensuite, or wet-room.
Cllr Truell says these grants are important for meeting the needs of local authority tenants and those awaiting social housing in County Monaghan.
