Government Extends Support for Vulnerable Households Facing Challenges with the Cost of Living (UK)
In recognition of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the Department for Work and Pensions is investing an additional £842 million in its Household Support Fund to help more low-income households to afford basic essentials.
The scheme has been extended until the end of March 2023 to help those most in need with the rising costs of energy, food, water and other related essentials.
The funding will be distributed by Local Authorities in England who will define eligibility criteria, the application process, as well as what the money can be spent on.
Individuals are encouraged to contact their upper tier local authority and ask what help is available to them.
