We are providing a range of support to social housing providers on net zero, including technical support for planning improvements, funding supporting innovative approaches to retrofit, and capital funding to deploy low carbon heat at scale. Support is being provided through several schemes, including the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Green Homes Grant Vouchers and Local Authority Delivery, the Whole House Retrofit Innovation Programme and the Energy Company Obligation. We are also reviewing the Decent Homes Standard.
