Household support fund

The household support fund (HSF) offers help to Derbyshire residents facing financial hardship by providing grants and other financial support. The fund is provided to us by the government.

Funded by the UK Government

Following previous allocations of HSF funding, a further grant has been made available for use in Derbyshire up to 30 September 2024.

The money is provided to us by the Department for Work and Pensions. 

Following 4 previous allocations of HSF funding, a fifth was made available for use up to 30 September 2024.

All payments and financial support provided by the fund had to be awarded before the fund closed at the end of September 2024.

The Department for Work and Pensions have announced a further Household Support Fund award to cover the period October 2024 to March 2025 and we will share information about how this will be distributed in the coming weeks.

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.
