Warm Homes Local Grant

Brent Council is part of a London-wide partnership led by the Greater London Authority (GLA), working with 30 other local authorities to deliver the Warm Homes: Local Grant.

Please note, Brent Council does not deliver this scheme directly. Instead, all work is managed through the consortium’s governance framework, with each borough following the grant requirements set by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

About the scheme

The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a government initiative to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty in low-income households across England.

This scheme is part of the broader Warm Homes Plan, which seeks to upgrade 5 million homes within the next 5 years and support the transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

The scheme aims to achieve:

energy efficiency: Upgrades may include insulation, solar panels, and air source heat pumps – tailored to individual homes to ensure the most appropriate measures are installed
cost savings: Occupants on a low income will not contribute to the cost of upgrades
environmental impact: The scheme aims to reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

Eligibility criteria

To qualify for the Warm Homes Local Grant, you must meet all three of the following criteria:

You must own your home or rent from a private landlord.
Your home must have an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of D to G. Check your home’s energy certificate on GOV.UK.
Your home must be located within one of the government’s priority postcodes (Check your postcode here), or your household must either have an income under £36,000 a year or include at least one resident receiving a means-tested benefit such as housing benefit, job seekers allowance, pension credit, or universal credit.

If you’re applying as a landlord, you can apply for multiple eligible homes. Full funding is available for one property; for additional homes, landlords must contribute 50% of the upgrade costs. Tenants should not pay for upgrade costs.

How to apply

The scheme is now open for applications.
