The Highland Council has secured around £5.4 million in external funding for housing retrofit and decarbonisation in 2026/27, according to its announcement on 5th November 2026.
Current position
The funding supports eligible council homes, owner occupiers and private rented properties. The council reports that, since 2023, it and its delivery contractor have secured over £28 million for improvements to more than 1,500 homes. Those are historical programme figures, separate from the latest allocation.
Why this matters
The award gives housing teams further resources for improving existing homes. It does not establish a guaranteed saving for each household or quantify measured carbon reductions.
Next steps
Residents should consult the council for current support and eligibility. The announcement does not provide an application deadline or an individual property allocation.
