Funding v Regulation
From 2008-09 the scope for use of DFG funding will be widened ... to support any local authority expenditure incurred under the Regulatory Reform (Housing Assistance) (England and Wales) Order 2002 (RRO). This will enable authorities to use specific DFG funding for wider purposes, which may be more appropriate for individuals than current DFG arrangements allow. Creating greater flexibility will allow the DFG to be used for associated purposes, such as moving home, where this is a more appropriate solution, or funding could be pooled to purchase portable extensions which are suitable for re-use, through improved procurement models.
