Household Support Fund
There are many ways you can find support to help yourself and your family as household costs rise.
The Household Support Fund has been provided by the Department of Work and Pensions to County Councils and Unitary Authorities in England to support those most in need.
The fund gives priority to supporting people with Food and Fuel, however other household essentials are also considered.
This fund is used to provide support to households experiencing financial hardship or crisis, who would otherwise struggle to buy food, pay essential utility bills, or meet other essential living or housing costs. It should be for people in exceptional cases of genuine emergency. The Fund may also be used to prevent poverty locally and build local resilience.
To make it easier for more residents to get help, we are sharing most of the Fund with support teams and community and voluntary groups. They will use the money to provide wider support for local people.
