Green Homes Grant Scheme - What Is It?
The Green Homes Grant has closed to new applications on 31st of March 2021 at 5pm. The scheme was previously extended to the end of March 2022. But in a new press release from the government, they announced that the applications will end a year early on the 31st of March 2021.

Households with the lowest income in England can receive a voucher of up to £10,000, covering the full cost of renovations.
The renovations are split up into two categories: primary and secondary measures.
