Household Support Fund
(asked on 24th July 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had regarding the extension of the Household Support Fund after September.
This question was answered on 31st July 2024
£500 million is being provided to enable the current Household Support Fund, including funding for Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula to be spent at their discretion. This means Local Authorities in England are receiving £421 million to support those in need locally.
The current Household Support Fund will be in place until 30 September 2024.
As a new government, we are reviewing all policies, including the Household Support Fund.
