Government Launches £1B Crisis Fund for Low-Income Households
The government is launching a £1 billion annual Crisis and Resilience Fund for three years, offering cash payouts to low-income individuals facing unexpected financial hardship, accessible through local councils. This new initiative replaces the Household Support Fund, aiming to provide direct financial assistance instead of relying on emergency provisions. While the funding level remains similar to the previous scheme, some local councils express concerns about its adequacy to meet local welfare needs.
