Park homes are eligible for support under the Warm Homes: Local Grant - provided they are:

  • The permanent residence of the household;
  • Assessed as equivalent to an EPC band D–G home; and
  • Are expected to remain in place for the duration of the relevant measure guarantee period.

As park homes do not have Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), eligibility is determined through an assessment of their Energy Performance Rating (EPR), which can evidence equivalence to the required EPC bands.

The Government has therefore ensured that park home residents can access support where they meet the scheme's eligibility criteria.
