Housing Advisory Panel (HAP) Residual Levy Grants

Our newly formed Housing Advisory Panels bring together local tenants and councillors together to discuss and address local community issues. For more information about these Panels, please visit their webpage here: Housing Advisory Panels

These Panels are also responsible for awarding community grants, called HAP Residual Levy Grants.

These grants are funded by the Council’s “Residual Levy”, which is tenant levy money collected from tenants who currently have no local Tenants and Residents Association (TARA) to represent them.

The grants are awarded to help build stronger, successful communities by making funding available to local voluntary organisations, self-help groups and community projects that want to make a difference in their community and benefit those council tenants not already covered by a TARA.

The awards are currently a pilot only available in the north-east area of Sheffield, but if they are successful then consideration will be given to rolling them out across the city to other wards.

The second round of bids is now open!! To apply, please read the guidance documents attached to this page and then complete the online application form below.
