Wakefield Healthy Housing Pathway
The Wakefield Healthy Housing Pathway is a scheme that looks to provide support for individuals or families with the following issues
- fuel poverty
- high energy bills
- cold, damp, or draughty housing
- broken heating or hot water systems
- poor or hazardous housing conditions
- problems with private landlords
Some of the ways the scheme could look to assist are:
- grants and loans available to help with the cost of making home heating and insulation improvements to reduce energy costs
- assistance with fuel debt and income maximisation
- intervention with landlords to resolve ongoing repair/standards issues
- referrals to other appropriate agencies
- energy efficiency advice for the home
Please note, for all referrals, you must have the consent from the individual being referred to share their personal details with Wakefield Council.
