Household Support Fund - Round 5 

Update 12th July 2024

Please be aware that the Hardship Grant Community Fund scheme is pausing new enquiries at this time. This is to enable teams to reach out and support those in their local area who have already completed a successful an enquiry and are on the waiting list.

We will reopen again to begin accepting new enquiries by early August 2024.

Please note that the scheme is still expected to continue supporting eligible households with grant award payments into September 2024 as planned.

If you have supported someone to submit a successful enquiry since the current scheme opened in May 2024, please bear with us – a member of the team in your local area will reach out to them using the contact details provided in the next 3-4 weeks.

 

Applications will be accepted from May 2024 until 30th September 2024, or until all funding has been exhausted if sooner.

 

Approved enquiries within the system will continue to be prioritised in the order they have been submitted.

 

More information is available on the main HGCF webpage. An eligibility criteria continues to apply to all applicants; these details can be found on the same page.

 

Please reach out to your Locality Lead Partner in the first instance if you require support with an existing application or an enquiry.
