Household Support Fund

Funded by uk government resize

Household Support Fund 6 is now open to new applications until 16 March 2025.

£421m has been made available to County Councils and Unitary Authorities in England to support those most in need with the cost of essentials via the Household Support Fund (“The Fund”). 

With each version of Household Support Fund, the eligibility criteria may change and so previous decisions for Household Support Funds 1 to 5 may be different to the decision you get for Household Support Fund 6.

Due to high demand and the Christmas and New Year break, decisions are being made on a first come first served basis and can take up to 14 days to complete. There will be no payments week commencing 30 December 2024. 

Other Cost of Living support can be found on GOV.UK.
