Social Housing Retrofit Funding

What Is the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund?

The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund supports energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating measures in English social housing. It provides funding to local authorities, combined authorities, registered providers of social housing and registered charities that own social housing, subject to scheme rules and funding rounds.

SOCIAL HOUSING RETROFIT SUPPORT

Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund & Former SHDF Support.

HSSE Solutions supports social housing providers, local authorities and housing organisations with retrofit project guidance, property assessment support and energy efficiency improvement planning under current social housing funding routes. Funding, project scope and delivery depend on scheme rules, provider eligibility, property suitability, approval routes and funding availability.

CHECK ELIGIBILITY

The fund focuses on improving lower-performing social homes, usually through measures such as insulation, low-carbon heating and related energy efficiency works. Outcomes depend on property condition, measure suitability, project design, installation quality and tenant usage.

SOCIAL HOUSING RETROFIT BENEFITS

Possible Benefits of Social Housing Retrofit Funding

Social housing retrofit funding may support housing providers and tenants in several ways, depending on the project, property stock and measures installed:

Energy Efficiency Measures: Funding routes may support measures such as insulation, low-carbon heating, solar PV, windows or other eligible improvements, subject to scheme rules, stock condition and technical assessment.
Energy and Emissions Impact: Some measures may reduce energy use or emissions, depending on property condition, heating system, energy source, measure type, installation quality and tenant usage.
Potential Tenant Bill Savings: Tenants may experience improved comfort or lower heating demand, but any bill savings depend on tariffs, occupancy, heating behaviour, property condition and installed measures.
Improved Comfort: Suitable measures may help improve warmth, comfort and building performance where works are correctly specified, installed and maintained.

HSSE Solutions can support social housing providers with enquiry review, property assessment coordination, retrofit planning and project support. Funding levels, provider contribution, delivery scope and timescales depend on the relevant funding route and approval process.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund supports energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating measures in English social housing. It provides funding to eligible social housing providers and housing organisations, subject to funding round rules, project approval and delivery requirements.

Eligibility depends on the relevant funding round. Current GOV.UK statistics describe Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund as funding local authorities, combined authorities, registered providers of social housing and registered charities that own social housing in England. Property eligibility depends on scheme rules, EPC position, ownership and project requirements.

Funding levels depend on the active funding round, project size, eligible measures, delivery requirements, provider contribution and approval route. Costs, match funding, customer contribution and project scope should be confirmed before any works proceed.

Measures may include insulation, low-carbon heating, solar PV, windows, ventilation or related energy efficiency measures where permitted by the funding route and confirmed through technical assessment. Tenant savings are not guaranteed and depend on property condition, usage and tariffs.

Application routes depend on the funding round. Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 is currently shown by GOV.UK as closed to applications, so providers should check the latest active route before presenting new applications. HSSE Solutions can help review project needs and current next steps.

Not all social housing properties, landlords, tenants or improvement measures will qualify. Services not covered by available funding may be quoted separately where appropriate based on property requirements.

Potential savings, comfort improvements, emissions reductions, EPC changes and energy performance improvements vary depending on property condition, existing systems, installed measures, installation quality, energy tariffs, occupancy and usage.
