An extra £125,000 is being ploughed into helping disabled people adapt their homes in the Bath area.
Bath and North East Somerset Council is to get a £124,791 share of a £40 million boost to the national Disabled Facilities Grant to help people remain independent in their own homes for longer.
The council received £484,396 last year.
Adaptations which the grant can cover include the installation of a ramp, stairlift or downstairs bathroom. It can also fund smaller changes such as adapting heating or lighting controls so they are easier to use.
City MP Don Foster said: "The Liberal Democrats know the important role that housing can play to help people remain independent. This extra money will help support more people in Bath to live comfortably and independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
"Small practical changes like these can make all the difference."
Care minister Norman Lamb added: "For people with disabilities, and older people, even the simplest things such as walking, getting up the stairs and climbing in and out of the bathtub can become difficult.
"We know that most people want to remain independent and be supported in their own home as far as possible."
