Answer
Empty Home Grant Scheme for properties not occupied for over 1 year. Can you inform me how many home owners have accessed the grant this financial year? 3 property owners have made applications into the scheme this financial year (since 1st April 2025) Could you also confirm why MTBC is no longer part of the scheme and confirm if they are going to rejoin the scheme. MTCBC are still part of the scheme and have committed to match funding of a maximum of circa £124 000 since 2023. In managing the scheme within the allocated budget, the scheme is currently temporarily closed to new applications until there is certainty there is sufficient funds remaining to allow for further new applications. Welsh Government have indicated they will be closing the National Empty Homes Grant scheme in September 2025.
