Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced plans for a £50m
fund to pilot innovative retrofit projects for social housing, as part of a
£3bn fund for green jobs designed to jump-start the post-covid economy. The announcement comes the day after the chancellor
announced a £1.6bn rescue package for the arts and a week after the prime

according to a statement from the Treasury. Read more on Housing Today.
