The report proposes introducing local criteria
to the Warm Homes Fund grant to better target support at the most
vulnerable households. This will help ensure funding reaches those
experiencing fuel poverty, improve fairness and transparency, and
align with the council’s priorities on tackling fuel poverty
and climate change. The decision required is whether to adopt
additional criteria to enhance the impact and value for money by
focusing the funding on those most in need.
