Petition Cover 100% of Green Homes Grant improvements for all households

Currently the Green Home Grants scheme covers full costs for households claiming certain benefits, but only part of the costs for other households. The Government should cover 100% of costs for all households.

More details

There are also a lot of families who do not claim relevant benefits but have no savings to be able to make use of the Green Home Grants scheme. Just because you don’t qualify for certain benefits doesn’t mean you couldn’t really do with a helping hand to bring your bills down. This should be fair for all.
