Finding funds, fixing homes

Finance is a fundamental barrier facing people who want to make improvements to their home. Learn how local areas are tailoring financial solutions to meet the needs of their residents.

A lack of financial support results in many people continuing to live in unsafe homes that damage their health. Despite the reduction in local authority funding for home improvements, there are places successfully expanding the financial support they offer.

Following the recent publication of our Finding funds, fixing homes report, this one-hour webinar will showcase innovative examples of local authority approaches to paying for home improvements.
