Issue details
Further Warm Homes Funding - Shropshire Council led project
- Fuel Poverty affects an estimated 10,682
households in the county (12.9%). This figure is higher than the
national level of 10.3% and reflects the challenges that the county
faces in relation to the energy efficiency of properties including
a large proportion of older, hard to treat properties and
restricted access to mains gas due to the rural nature of the
county
- The Warm Homes Fund is designed to support councils, registered
social landlords and relevant partner organisations to address some
of the issues affecting fuel poor households. This fund is
administered by National Grid and the Community Interest Company,
Affordable Warmth Solutions.
- The project will allow around 200+ Herefordshire homes to benefit
from first time central heating in order to alleviate fuel poverty
and improve healthy home levels.
- The associated Category 2 (rural) and Category 3 (Health and
energy advice) projects will provide further funding in
Herefordshire to improve affordable warmth and healthy housing
outcomes.
