What the Household Support Fund is.
The Household Support Fund is money from the government that we use to help low-income households with food and fuel poverty.
The funding has been extended to the end of September 2024.
How the money will be allocated
More details about how this fifth round of funding will be allocated between April and September 2024 will be shared by May 2024.
Organisations that have received funding in previous rounds will be contacted directly.
If you still need help
If you need financial support, you can still benefit from this fund. You can:
- apply for an emergency payment from the Local Crisis Prevention Fund (if you are aged 16 or older and live in Bristol, and are in financial crisis and need help with essential day to day living expenses)
- apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment (if you get Housing Benefit or the Housing Element of Universal Credit and need extra help for housing costs)
- get cost of living advice
You can also get help with money and debt problems and find out if you can claim benefits.
