Church of England Clergy Homes and Warm Homes: Local Grant

Introduction

The Church of England, through its network of regional dioceses, is responsible for approximately 9000 private houses all over England. Some of the families living in these homes would normally be eligible for Warm Homes: Local Grant funding via the owner occupier, private landlord or tenant path.
