Budget deal gives welcome boost for warm homes

Budget deal gives welcome boost for warm homes – but more is needed to tackle climate emergency

Yesterday (Wednesday 26 February), Cabinet Secretary for Finance Kate Forbes reached an agreement with the Scottish Green Party to ensure passage of the Scottish Government’s budget at all stages in parliament. This deal included £25 million of additional investment in local energy efficiency projects.

The Existing Homes Alliance Scotland, which includes SFHA, welcomed the additional funding.

About us

The Existing Homes Alliance Scotland is a coalition calling for urgent action to transform Scotland's existing housing stock and make it fit for the 21st century. Too many of Scotland's homes are in a poor condition meaning unnecessarily high fuel use.

We gratefully acknowledge funding support from the William Grant Foundation.

We urge the Scottish Government to use the once in a generation opportunity of the Energy Efficient Scotland programme and the Fuel Poverty Bill to transform Scotland’s homes for the better, put an end to fuel poverty and seize the opportunities of a low carbon future.
