Minister Julie James has announced a new £50 million scheme to bring more empty homes back to life.
The National Empty Homes Grant scheme, that will run over the next two years, has been developed to build on the success of previous Welsh Government initiatives like the Valleys Taskforce Empty Homes Grant.
The National Empty Homes Scheme could see up to 2,000 long-term empty properties brought back into use.
This scheme will run alongside with other Welsh Government schemes like Leasing Scheme Wales which is designed to improve access to longer term affordable housing in the private rental sector.
Aside from owner occupiers, Registered Social Landlords, local authorities and community housing groups will also be able to access the funding for empty properties they are acquiring to bring back into use as affordable housing.
A list of the participating local authorities can be found here Apply for an empty homes grant | GOV.WALES. More local authorities will be added to the list once ready to accept applications.
