It’s always nice to be appreciated, so we were pleased to see an article published by the Social Housing Retrofit Accelerator, which focused on the benefits reported by a resident of one of our most recent decarbonisation schemes.
At the end of September 2022, the UK government announced additional funding for Phase 2 of the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) scheme. Worth up to £700 million, it will operate in tandem with the previously announced Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Wave 2 funding, which will have a value of up to £800 million. The total of available energy efficiency funding has therefore now been raised to £1.5 billion.
The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 2.1 competition officially opened to bids on Thursday 30 September 2022. The competition will remain open for 7 weeks, closing on 18 November 2022.
In mid-June, government announced the likely timeline for submissions for funding via Wave 2 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF). The official guidance notes that the competition window is likely to open in late August / early September 2022, but that applicants are encouraged to begin preparing their applications now.
