Pembrokeshire Housing Association

Action plans were developed to identify the need for financial support and outline how the funds would be spent.

Individuals as well as schemes and estates were eligible to be considered in terms of the potential to improve quality of life.

Funds had been awarded for:

• small individual adaptations (under £500) such as over-bath showers for individual tenants not eligible to receive these adaptations through any other means; and
• community-wide projects such as Vineyard Vale's play area, match funded via a grant from Pembrokeshire County Council's Capital Play Fund, and wheelie bin provision to remove the problem of litter on estates.

The Housing Plus fund helped to engage tenants at a community level and give support to their resident associations.

The allocation of the total budget (£40,000) between the four area teams was flexible.
