Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF)
The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) forms part of the 2019 Government Manifesto, committing £3.8bn over a 10-year period to improve the energy performance of social rented homes. SHDF aims to deliver warm, energy-efficient homes, reduce carbon emissions and fuel bills, tackle fuel poverty, and support green jobs.
Programme overview
Delivered through the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ); the aim of the SHDF programmes is to deliver energy efficient measures for social housing properties. Ensuring they achieve Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) C, through the installation of measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation as well as installing low carbon technologies such as Solar PV and Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP).
There are currently two SHDF programmes, funded by DESNZ, which are delivered in partnership with a consortium of nine registered Social Housing Providers (RPs), with the Combined Authority as the Lead Partner.

Project overview
SHDF Wave 1
The SHDF Wave 1 programme is close to completion and consists of £4.6m Grant funding from Central Government and £5.2m co-funding from nine RPs for a total cost of £9.8m. The programme has delivered retrofits to over 900 homes.
SHDF Wave 2.1
Similar to Wave 1, SHDF 2.1 aims to regenerate the local area, tackle the climate emergency, and alleviate fuel poverty. 2,337 properties have been identified for retrofit works via this programme. This is taking into consideration a ‘worst first’, ‘fabric first’ approach upon selecting properties, which have been identified as energy inefficient either through resident engagement and or using modelled energy data. Retrofit works will make a huge difference; offering residents a warmer, easier to heat home which should reduce their energy consumption. The delivery window for SHDF Wave 2.1 runs from March 2023 to 30th September 2025. All grant funding for SHDF Wave 2.1 projects must be spent by 31st March 2025, meaning Registered Providers can only use co-funding in the final 6 months of delivery.

- Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF): Booster
-
Project overview
Following the cost-of-living crisis across the region, the Booster Programme is a continuation of the Governments Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF). Working with SHDF partners, the Combined Authority funded the project through the Mayoral Gainshare Funding stream.
The Booster project will deliver warm, energy-efficient homes, reduce carbon emissions and fuel bills, tackle fuel poverty, and support green jobs.
In October 2022, West Yorkshire Combined Authority approved the delivery of a SHDF Booster programme, which will deliver improvements to 1786 homes. This scheme is aimed to support the lower income households that have been impacted by the Cost-of-Living Crisis and aims to help alleviate the fuel poverty.
The SHDF Booster programme focuses on installing similar measures to the Wave 1 and 2 programmes. As this programme is funded from the Combined Authority’s Gainshare programme, this scheme is aimed at supporting the lower income households that have been impacted by the Cost-of-Living Crisis and aims to help alleviate fuel poverty.
The Booster programme is at a total cost of £7m, with a WYCA contribution of £4.7m and £2m in match funding from eight Housing Providers.
