The money is part of a national fund of 56 million approved by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
Tipperary has gotten one of the highest allocations in the country to allow people carry out much needed works on their home.
€2.3 million has been earmarked for the Premier County – only Limerick, Mayo, Cork and Dublin have gotten more.
The funding announced by Minister Alan Kelly will be used to allow extensions to be built for people with a disability as well as housing adaptations to improve mobility in the home such as stair lifts or access ramps.
The grants are administered by Tipperary County Council who will be providing €581,000 from their own funds to bring the total spend to €2.9 million.
Grants of up to €30,000 are available for an adaptation, up to €8,000 for housing aid for older people and up to €6,000 for mobility aids.
They are aimed at allowing older people and those with a disability to continue independent living in their own home for as long as possible
The national allocation of 56 million for 206 represents an increase of over 5 million Euro on last year.
