£1m HCA Funding Boost for New Council Homes

The HCA has put £980,000 in funding towards plans for 70 new council homes in Lenton, Nottingham.  The purpose-built independent living scheme, which includes 54 flats and 16 bungalows, will form part of Nottingham City Council and Nottingham City Homes’ (NCH) plans for Lenton’s regeneration. The cash was awarded this week through the HCA’s Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund.  Each property will be built as a Code 4 Sustainable Home, offering a reduced carbon footprint and lowered energy bills for tenants. They will also meet lifetime home standards, making sure they have adequate space for wheelchairs and other adaptations that may be needed as tenants get older.  Read more on 24dash.
