Benefits and support

Household Support Fund

The Household Support Fund is a government fund that offers eligible households support with fuel, food and other essentials. 

The government has announced a further extension to the Household Support Fund from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2025. We are currently working through our proposal and awaiting guidance as to how the funding can be allocated. We will update this page as soon as we have more information.

Who will get support?

We are in the process of looking at the support fund schemes and types of help that will be available. We will publish details of the schemes and who will receive this help in due course.

If you do not fall into any of the eligible groups, you can still apply for support to the Liverpool Citizens Support Scheme for assistance which has been partly funded by the Household Support Fund or visit the government's cost of living hub for other help available.
