What is the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF)?

The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) is a UK government program that aims to help improve the energy efficiency of social housing. The fund provides financial support to housing providers, including councils and housing associations, to make energy-saving improvements to their properties. These upgrades help reduce carbon emissions, improve energy performance, and lower tenants' energy bills.

The SHDF focuses on improving poorly insulated, inefficient homes, ensuring that tenants live in warmer, more comfortable homes. It also supports the government’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Through HSSE Solutions, social housing providers can access SHDF funding to retrofit properties with zero hidden costs. We manage the entire process—from application to installation to improve energy efficiency for your tenants and ensure a stress-free transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) is a UK government initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of social housing. It provides funding to housing providers to install low-carbon heating systems, insulation, and other energy-saving measures. The goal is to reduce tenants' carbon emissions and energy costs.

Eligibility for the SHDF is open to social housing providers such as local authorities, housing associations, and registered charities that manage social housing. The funding is used to improve energy efficiency in homes with low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, typically E or below.

The SHDF provides up to £3,500 per home to fund energy-efficient improvements. This amount may vary based on the scale of the project and the measures being implemented. In some cases, additional funding can be accessed for certain types of upgrades, such as low-carbon heating systems.

The SHDF covers a variety of energy-efficiency measures, including insulation, low-carbon heating systems such as heat pumps, solar panels, and energy-efficient windows. These upgrades are designed to improve the energy performance of social housing and reduce tenants' energy bills.

Housing providers can apply for the SHDF through an open bidding process managed by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The application requires details on the proposed energy efficiency measures, costs, and expected benefits for tenants. A successful bid will unlock funding for the project.
