The Almshouse Association would like to make members aware that from autumn 2021, members who are Registered Providers of Social Housing will be able to submit bids for the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund.
The fund seeks to help raise the energy standards of social housing as part of the government’s plans to reach Net Zero. The fund provides a good opportunity for members who are considering improving the energy standards of their current dwellings.
Further information on the bidding window will be published later this summer, but it is worth members starting to consider whether they would like to make a bid now so that you are ready when the window opens.
As part of this bid it will not be possible to make a direct bid through your charity as you are required to apply as part of a local authority bid. Consequently, it might be good practice to contact your local authority and see what scope there is to collaborate.
The Almshouse Association will share further guidance once it becomes available.
