Milestones for our Major Works Investment Programme

Last month, we celebrated two big milestones for our Major Works Investment Programme.

This is the housing sector’s largest investment programme, which will see us invest almost £3bn over 15 years to improve the safety, comfort and environmental performance of your home.

On 22 March, we secured over £27 million of funding to improve the energy efficiency of our homes, after our bid for the Governments’ Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) was successful.

We’ll use this to upgrade 3,401 homes that have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating below C.

All qualifying homes will be surveyed and recommendations will be made. Those homeowners will then be contacted by the relevant contractor so that the work can be carried out. 

Then, on 29 March, we announced that ten partners had signed 15-year contracts to help us deliver the programme.

Our Resident Services Board helped select these contractors, and each has signed up to social value commitments to create a lasting impact in the communities where we work.

This will include creating jobs and training opportunities, supporting local charities and improving playgrounds and community centres.
