This page provides links to information on grants
to help with repairs and adaptations to private sector
housing.
Unfortunately due to a lack of funding from
central government we are, for the foreseeable future, unable to
offer discretionary grants and loans to assist with repairs to
private sector housing and have had to suspend our waiting
list.
However if you have a disability,
mandatory grants to help provide adaptations to your home are
available - for details of how to apply please see out
Disabled Facilities Grants
page.
If you are on benefit, disabled or elderly and
require help with heating and/or insulation then you can contact
Warm Front direct on 0800 952 1555, for more details on the type of
grants that they offer please visit our
Affordable Warmth page.
If you are a home owner, over 60 and in receipt
of a benefit then there are also grants available from the
Electrical Safety Council for electrical works, you can contact
them on 0870 040 0561.
If you are interested in alternative sources of
power such as solar panels etc. then you can contact the Essex
Energy Efficiency Advice Centre (EEEAC) on 0800 096 6356 or visit
their web site. They
can give you information on schemes which may help with reducing
the cost. |
