WH:SHF is the government's flagship scheme for decarbonising social housing, delivered by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) as part of the wider £15 billion Warm Homes Plan. Formerly known as the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Wave 3, it funds energy performance upgrades and low-carbon heating in social homes currently below EPC band C.
The fund exists to:
- Deliver warm, energy-efficient homes for social housing tenants
- Reduce carbon emissions in line with UK net-zero targets
- Tackle fuel poverty and ease cost-of-living pressures
- Support green jobs and grow the UK retrofit sector
- Improve comfort, health and wellbeing by reducing damp, mould and cold-related illness
