Green Homes Grant: Less than 10% of promised vouchers issued Less than £200m of the £2bn of vouchers initially promised under the UK s Green Homes Grant Scheme has been issued, new official Government figures show. The scheme had targeted 600,000 homes, but just 53,000 homes made successful applications before its closure The Green Homes Grant was launched last summer as part of the Government’s broader green recovery approach. It originally had a £2bn budget and was set to help 600,000 UK homes with the cost of retrofitting schemes to improve energy efficiency. But, after claiming that the UK’s retrofitting services sector did not have enough tradespeople qualified to conduct accredited works, and receiving many applications from homes that did not meet the accreditation criteria, the Government pulled £1.5bn of the funding earlier this year. The move proved almost universally unpopular.
