Benefits and support

Household Support Fund

The government's Household Support Fund - set up for local authorities to help support some groups with essential living costs - has been extended for a further 6 months.

The new fund will start on 1st April 2024 and end on 30th September 2024.

We are currently working with external partner agencies to plan how we can use the fund to help households that are most in need.

As soon as this is confirmed, we will publish information on who is eligible and how to apply.

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.
