Aid and Adaptation Scheme
Barking and Dagenham Council is reviewing its supported housing provision, including assistance and adaptations for residents.
Barking and Dagenham Council is undertaking a comprehensive review of its supported housing provision, which includes schemes providing assistance and adaptations for residents in their own homes. This review, discussed by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee in October 2026, aims to optimise existing stock and ensure a more diverse range of options for residents.
The review is a key part of the council's Housing Strategy and its 'Fit for the Future' transformation programme, according to a report to the committee. The overarching goal is to ensure residents can remain independent for longer, with appropriate support, and to prevent the escalation of needs.
