Low-cost home ownership
Home ownership for people with long-term disabilities (HOLD)
Home ownership under the HOLD scheme is specifically for people with a long-term disability to share in the ownership of their home with a housing association.
HOLD is available (subject to lender approval) to people aged 18 or over with long-term disabilities. This covers physical and learning disabilities, cognitive and sensory impairments and enduring mental health issues.
The scheme gives them a much better opportunity to choose where they live and the kind of property they will be living in.
