Grant News
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has announced that the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (Wave 3) is now open for applications.
The fund offers grants to improve the energy performance of social housing in England by installing energy efficiency measures.
These measures 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 are 2 routes to access funding under Wave 3:
- the Challenge Fund
- Strategic Partnerships
Eligibility:
- 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 Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and their constituent local authorities are not eligible for the scheme. GMCA and WMCA will be receiving an allocation of funding as part of the Government’s commitment to the pilots announced in the trailblazer devolution deals.
Organisations can apply either as single applicants or as a consortium lead.
The closing date for applications is midday on the 25th November 2024.
