Social Landlords Are Eligible For The New Green Homes Grant Scheme

More detail on the £2bn Green Home Grants scheme has been published, confirming that social landlords are eligible to bid for funding. The scheme provides funding to support home energy efficiency improvements. As a minimum, improvements must include measures that improve insulation and/or deliver low carbon heating, such as the installation of heat pumps or solar thermal. Homeowners, including private and social landlords, can apply for two thirds of the cost of improvements with grants capped at £5,000. Low income households qualify for grants worth up to £10,000 to support energy efficiency upgrades. Some funding has been set aside for local authorities. Read more on the NHF website.
