Home improvements agency
The Tower Hamlets Home Improvement Agency
(THHIA) was established in 1990 by the Council to provide
professional, technical and administrative services for
priority owners and occupiers in connection with the
arranging or carrying out of works for the improvement or repair of
their homes or the carrying out of adaptations to meet the needs of
a disabled person. In 2008 the HIA took on responsibility for
providing fuel poverty advice and residential energy efficiency
measures in the borough on a tenure blind basis.
The HIA can assist you from helping to fill
out the grant application form to supervising the works and paying
the contractor when the works are completed satisfactorily. Grants
can be applied for by members of the private sector and
tenants who are either; over 60 years of age, disabled, on a low
income or have other special circumstances .
For further information you can also go to the national body for home
improvements agencies.
