Household support fund
Read about how we will use the Household Support Fund, who will benefit, and how we will contact you about getting extra support.
The Household Support Fund aims to provide crisis support to vulnerable households, helping with the huge rise in living costs. The fund is provided by the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP).
Islington has been allocated £2,218,159.62 for 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024.
Islington Council will use this fund to support households in the most need – particularly those who may not be eligible for the other support the Government has made available, including its Cost of Living payments.
Applications to the Household Support Fund are now closed. The next Household Support Fund will open for applications some time between October 2024 to March 2025. We are waiting for guidance from the Department for Work and Pensions before we announce plans for distributing the fund. Please check back later.
