The Crisis and Resilience Fund: Emergency Help From Your Council in England, and Crisis Help in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

From April 2026, the Crisis and Resilience Fund replaced the Household Support Fund in England and brought Discretionary Housing Payments into the same funding. This course explains what crisis payments and housing payments can help with, how to apply to your council, and the equivalent schemes in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
