The cash comes from Lancashire County Council's £1million Affordable Warmth Grant Fund
Hyndburn Council has been given a grant of £76,409 for 2022-23 to help vulnerable residents in cold or damp homes.
In a report she told senior colleagues: “This funding aims to reduce levels of death and illness over the winter months and to improve peoples’ wellbeing. As a consequence it is hoped to see a reduction in hospital admissions and reduced pressure on health and social care services.“Being on a low income, living in thermal inefficient home, having higher heating needs, and high fuel costs can all increase the risks of living in a cold home.
“In the case of private rented dwellings/ households all reasonable enforcement options must have been shown to have been pursued to seek a landlord’s contribution.
