This grant program from Marker Kommune provides funding assistance for professional assessment and project planning services for housing adaptations. It is designed for individuals with disabilities or elderly persons who need to make accessibility modifications to their homes. The grant can be used to hire professional help such as architects or other qualified specialists to assess housing needs and plan necessary adaptations. The assessment grant can be used to evaluate various aspects including possibilities and limitations of existing housing, outdoor areas and access, indoor accessibility, space requirements, and furnishing and usability. The project planning grant covers costs for professional assistance with detailed planning and architectural services. The municipality evaluates the applicant's financial situation to determine whether they can finance the adaptation themselves or need loans and/or grants from the municipality. Applicants must use qualified professionals for the assessment and project planning work. The grant is part of a broader housing adaptation support system governed by Norwegian housing support legislation, specifically Section 15 of the bostøtteloven (Housing Support Act). The municipality processes applications and provides assistance with completing application forms.
