Robert Abela Vows To Double Grant For First-Time Buyers With Severe Disabilities To €20,000

The government has announced plans to double the grant available to first-time property buyers with severe disabilities, increasing it from €10,000 to €20,000.

The measure is intended to ease access to home ownership for some of the most vulnerable individuals in society, who often face additional financial and logistical barriers when purchasing a property.

Officials say the enhanced grant will provide more meaningful support in covering upfront costs, including deposits and adaptations required to make homes accessible.

The proposal forms part of a broader effort to promote inclusivity within the housing market and ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind.

The scheme is expected to come into effect following the necessary administrative updates, with eligibility criteria remaining focused on first-time buyers with recognised severe disabilities.
