Hundreds of homes will be made warmer, greener and cheaper to run thanks to a £5m grant from the government.
The funding will support our warmer homes programme, which focuses on our least energy-efficient homes, those with an energy performance certificate of D or lower.
Under wave three of the social housing fund for warm homes, we will receive direct funding of almost £5.3m, while also being one of 27 housing providers in a strategic partnership led by Camden Council, which will share almost £78m.
Since 2023 we have assessed more than 1,000 homes and drawn up 600 home energy plans. Work is already underway on the first phase of these homes, which includes high performing windows, loft insulation and solar panels.
Meanwhile, we’ve completed a project at Marcus Garvey Mews that went a step further and involved residents in a renovation which also saw old, ineffective electric heaters make way for state-of-the-art air source heat pumps.
Matthew Cornwall Jones, chief homes officer at Notting Hill Genesis, said: “We’re committed to making sure all our rental homes are at EPC C by 2030, meaning tenants will benefit from lower bills and warmer homes. This will also support our drive to reduce the risk of damp and mould.
“Support like this from the Warmer Homes Fund will play a vital role in meeting this target. The last round of funding made a huge difference to so many of our residents and we look forward to going even further in the months and years to come.
“The response we’ve had has been really positive. Tenants immediately noticed that their homes were warmer and their heating bills were lower, and we look forward to even more of our residents enjoying the same benefits.”
Homes have already been identified for the 2025/26 programme and we will seek to extend that further should any additional funding become available.
