Service update
The Government announced in September 2024 that the Household Support Fund would be extended to 31 March 2025.
The new extension to the Household Support Fund is not currently active.
Household Support Fund
This grant is funded by the UK Government as Cost of Living support.
Last year, every Local Authority made their own local decision on how to distribute their grant funded allocation. The funding is for residents of the city who have been severely impacted by the current increases in living costs that have occurred.
Allocation of funds
The options for the allocation of Household Support Funding for 2024 to 2025 are not yet known and will need to be decided by our Cabinet.
Further information will be updated on this page as soon as it becomes available.
