Crisis and Resilience Fund

The Crisis and Resilience Fund is designed to help support long-term financial stability

The UK Government has announced new funding to support people experiencing financial hardship. The Crisis and Resilience Fund is designed to help residents facing a sudden, unexpected payment or loss of income, while also supporting longer-term financial stability.

The fund will run for three years, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 and includes four main elements:

  • Crisis payment, previously known as the Household Support Fund
  • Housing payments, known as Discretionary Housing Payments
  • Resilience services
  • Community coordination

You can read government guidance on GOV.UK.

If you are struggling with the cost of living, there is support available. Help with bills, food, housing and more is available via Norfolk County Council's crisis and resilience fund.

If you were receiving a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP), your award will not be affected under the Crisis Resilience Fund.

If you are currently in receipt of Housing Benefit or Universal Credit (Housing Costs) and you are struggling to pay your rent, you may be eligible for a Crisis And Resilience Fund – Housing Payment. Please visit Housing Payments and Council Tax discretionary payments for more information and to apply.
