Green Homes Grant scheme
The Green Homes Grant scheme was a government initiative in 2020-21, offering vouchers for homeowners and landlords to make energy-efficient improvements. It aimed to help people afford upgrades like insulation or heat pumps, which could have made homes cooler during the June heatwave and reduced the number of people feeling unwell, as mentioned in the story.
