Homes across Northumberland are set to receive taxpayer-funded energy-efficiency upgrades.
A total of £9.5 million is being allocated.
£3.5 million is being granted by the UK government's Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund which will be matched by the council.
This will fund energy-efficiency upgrades in council-owned homes specifically.
This initiative is being delivered through a Strategic Partnership consortium led by the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
An additional £2.5 million of UK taxpayer-funding has been allocated by the government's Warm Homes: Local Grant for improvements to privately-owned and rented homes.
Councillor Glen Sanderson, leader of Northumberland County Council, said: "We’re very pleased to be awarded this funding which will play a crucial role in improving homes for our residents across the county.
"By co-funding these projects, we are ensuring that our residents live in warmer, healthier homes while emphasising our dedication to driving Northumberland towards net zero by 2040."
