Funding for Green Social Housing Upgrades
As part of the effort to make England’s homes greener and more energy efficient, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is making around £1.2 billion in funding available to improve the energy performance of social housing in England.
The funding will be available to:
- local authorities
- combined authorities
- registered providers of social housing (including housing associations and arms-length management organisations (ALMOs) that are registered providers)
- registered charities that own social housing
The Fund will support the installation of energy performance measures that will help to:
- deliver warm, energy-efficient homes
- reduce carbon emissions
- tackle fuel poverty
- support green jobs
- develop the retrofit sector
- Improve the comfort, health and well-being of social housing tenants
There will be two routes to access funding:
- The Challenge Fund
- Strategic Partnerships
