As an Approved Housing Body (AHB), you can access grants for home energy upgrades to social housing with the One Stop Shop grant scheme.

Why use a One Stop Shop

One Stop Shop providers offer all the services to completely upgrade a home or set of homes. These registered private operators will manage the entire process for you, from the initial assessment through to the final BER rating.

Grant amounts available for AHBs

As an AHB, you can access a wider range of grants using a One Stop Shop provider than if you were to manage the project yourself. For certain measures, AHB properties also receive higher grants than private homes.

All registered AHBs must be have a valid Approved Housing Bodies registration (AHBRA) to take advantage of the One Stop Shop AHB grant amounts.

How to apply for a One Stop Shop grant

Applying for a One Stop Shop grant as an AHB is the same process as if you were applying as a homeowner.

You will need to provide a letter of confirmation that the homes to be upgraded are owned by the AHB and your One Stop Shop provider will do the rest.

Check your eligibility and find a One Stop Shop provider for your building stock.

Community grants

If the One Stop Shop service isn't right for you, AHBs can also apply for grants through the Community Grants scheme. A registered Project Co-ordinator manages the Community Grants project and application process, making homes in a community more energy-efficient.
