The Crisis and Resilience Fund is a new 3-year grant funded by the UK Government. It’s designed to:
- support households who experience a sudden financial shock
- help people to manage their finances and avoid future crisis situations
- strengthen local support systems in the community
The fund replaces both the Household Support Fund and Discretionary Housing Payments. It covers the period of 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 inclusive.
