Extend deadline and provide funding for supported housing to achieve EPC rating

Petition Details

We ask the Government to increase the time frame and provide funding for sheltered and supported housing groups so that they have a better chance of achieving the Government’s housing energy standards.

Additional Information

Some supported housing groups are at risk of closure. Elderly and vulnerable residents are frightened, and want to stay in the supported environment that the homes create for them.

The Government require that all privately rented homes and fuel poor homes achieve an EPC rating of C by 2030. We believe that for some supported housing groups this time frame is too short. In some cases, finances to carry out these upgrades have been impacted by economic circumstances and the covid pandemic. We also ask the government to provide funding for supported homes at risk of closure due to the costs of the energy efficiency upgrades.
