Decision details

Acceptance of the grant for £5,974,078 for a maximum of three years from The Warm Homes: Local Grant to upgrade privately owned houses for low-income households.

The grant funding will provide the Council with the opportunity to support some of our most vulnerable families by helping them occupy warmer homes with reduced energy bills, while also reducing carbon emissions in support of our net zero target.

Authorisation to accept this grant funding was approved at the Executive meeting on 7 January 2025.

The alternative option is to not accept the funding, which would result in a loss of investment in energy efficiency installations to circa 250 private sector households in North Yorkshire and loss of significant funds into the local economy over a 3 year period.
