Following 5 previous allocations of HSF funding, a sixth was made available for use up to 31 March 2025.
All payments and financial support provided by the fund had to be awarded before the fund closed at the end of March 2025.
The Department for Work and Pensions have announced a further Household Support Fund award to cover the period to March 2026 and we'll share information about how this will be distributed when we have more details.
In the meantime, emergency financial help and support is available from the Derbyshire Discretionary Fund, which can award eligible residents up to 2 crisis payments over a rolling 12-month period.
