Heating grants made available for Wakefield residents after £153,000 windfall
The funding from the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (WYHCP) will help provide “affordable warmth” by supporting households to save energy and improve their home-energy efficiency.
Heating grants will be made available to low-income private tenants, emergency grants to those with energy bill debts, better financial support for WDH tenants and a ‘warmer homes outreach worker’ will be employed to support residents.
