Warmer homes grant
The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a UK Government-funded fuel poverty scheme delivered by local authorities in England. The scheme will improve the energy efficiency of homes and increase low carbon heating installations for low-income households. Delivery of the scheme is expected to start in April 2025 and will allocate £500 million to 73 projects across 270 local authorities over the next three years.
The Warm Homes: Local Grant will provide energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating via local authorities to households that:
are in England,
are low income
and meet one of the following criteria:
gross annual household income of £36,000 or less
those living in deprived areas (ranked in the lowest income deciles)
those already receiving means-tested benefits (like Universal Credit or Housing Benefit)
have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) between D and G
are privately owned (owner occupied or privately rented)
The scheme will be open to households both on the gas-grid (heated by mains gas), and off the gas-grid (heated by fuels such as electricity, oil, coal, or liquid petroleum gas).Landlords can also apply for funding to upgrade properties, which will reduce bills for tenants in the private rented sector. Landlords will receive full funding for the first property and 50% funding for additional properties. Households will be able to check their eligibility when the scheme opens for delivery in April 2025 using an online tool on GOV. UK .If a household is eligible, their application will be sent to their local authority or their official contractor, who will handle the next steps. Households can also contact their local authority directly for support.
