Programmes
We are managing and supporting two major funding schemes on behalf of delivery partners that aim to improve the delivery of energy-saving home improvements: Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and Warm Homes: Local Grant.
Our early focus is on social housing, low-income homeowners and private renters who are those most vulnerable to fuel poverty. We are paving the way for area-based retrofit across all types of housing and advocating for increased, flexible investment.
This fund improves the energy efficiency of social housing. In London, it is funded by 27 London borough councils and housing associations with the support of Retrofit London (the predecessor programme to Warmer Homes London). It is England's largest government-appointed Strategic Partnership consortia.
The fund provides financial support to social housing landlords, including local authorities and housing associations, to retrofit existing properties. The primary goal is to upgrade homes with Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings below band C, thereby reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy bills, and enhancing the comfort and well-being of tenants.
This programme provides free or discounted energy saving measures for low-income private housing, including both owner occupiers and the private rental sector. The Warm Homes: Local Grant programme is delivered in London by the Greater London Authority, on behalf of 31 local authorities: the application process is being managed by the Greater London Authority’s delivery partner, Sureserve. Warmer Homes London supports the GLA's management of the programme, helping to provide resources and support that allow for greater engagement with priority vulnerable audience groups.
Note: Submission of new applications has been temporarily paused while current and received applications are assessed for eligibility.
