The Government has announced that the final day for applications to the Green Homes Grant will be March 31st 2021.
Any members who have secured funding through this route will still have their vouchers honoured but no new requests will be accepted after March 31st.
The Almshouse Association is disappointed by the Government’s decision in this case as the grant represented a great opportunity for our members to do the right thing by becoming more eco-friendly. The sudden removal of the scheme means that a number of members will now struggle to find support for green initiatives which would help their residents. We hope that almshouse charities will be able to access the additional funding designated to Local Authorities.
The Government must produce an effective, long-term fund which can help those both within the almshouse movement and beyond.
