What Is the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund? 

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

How the Funding Works

  • £7,500 per home cost cap for energy efficiency measures (insulation, ventilation, fabric upgrades)
  • £20,000 per home available for low-carbon heating plus associated measures on gas-grid properties (up to 10% of homes per application, no match funding required)
  • £7,500 per home additional cap for low-carbon heating on off-gas-grid properties, stacked on top of the standard efficiency cap
  • Delivered via two routes — the Challenge Fund (open to all eligible providers) and Strategic Partnerships (for organisations delivering at scale)

What This Means for Residents

Behind every funding figure is a household that deserves to feel the benefit. WH:SHF upgrades mean lower energy bills, warmer, healthier homes, and reduced damp and mould — the same outcomes at the heart of everything EEH Solutions does. It's why our mission goes beyond installation: we're here to tackle fuel poverty and build stronger, more resilient communities, one home at a time.
