There are three eligibility pathways:
Pathway 1: Households which reside within Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), Income Deciles (ID), and/or 1-2 areas – a list of eligible postcodes is provided on gov.uk alongside this guidance.
Pathway 2: Households which can demonstrate receipt of a specified means-tested benefit or that they are eligible via route two of ECO Flex.
Pathway 3: Households with an annual gross income below £36,000 or the ‘after housing costs’ threshold in line with our published equivalisation tables (which are dependent on household composition). There is a cost cap of £15k per home for energy performance upgrades. £15k per home for low carbon heating. Cost caps can be averaged across a project and must be met by project closure.
Guidance was updated on 15th June to reflect that landlords who have low-income tenants that meet the household eligibility criteria (i.e. Private Rented Sector), can now access grant funding.
