# The Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2005, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”) which set out the means test for determining the amount of grant which may be paid by local housing authorities under Chapter I of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.
Regulation 5 of the 1996 Regulations define a relevant person. These Regulations amend the definition of a relevant person to remove the means testing of those responsible for a disabled child or young person. These regulations apply to applications to Local Housing Authorities in Wales made on or after 30 September 2005.
