Decision

Please find the decision notice here Decision - Crisis and Resilience Fund Delivery Plan 2026 - 2029

The CRF Crisis and Resilience Fund provides support to low-income households facing financial shocks (defined as ‘a sudden, unexpected expense or drop in income’) and aims to build long term financial resilience at both individual and community levels.

Individuals facing financial shock can apply for Crisis support, this support can include household items and white goods.  There is no definitive list of items which may be provided, and this will be determined on a case-by-case basis as district councils have local discretion to best meet the need in their area. Where possible, new items will be provided and taking into account delivery, instillation and safe and proper disposal of old items and payment where possible will be maid direct to the supplier from whichever platform districts are using.
