The budget, which supports housing providers to adapt homes for older or vulnerable tenants, was cut for 2010/11 from £10m to £8m on the eve of the Scottish Parliament elections.
The fund was also to be restricted so that housing associations had to find the first £1000 of the cost of any adaptations. Previously Government had met any cost above £150. This has also now been reversed in the Government's spring budget revision, which found another £2m for adaptations.
