Urgent financial help and extra support
If you are in a crisis situation or need urgent help, we may be able to offer some assistance. You will have to apply and meet the eligibility criteria to get vouchers or assistance.
Household Support Fund
Funded by the UK government, the Household Support Fund scheme supports vulnerable Kent households in need of help with significantly rising living costs.
Home essentials in a crisis
The Kent Support and Assistance Service (KSAS) is our emergency welfare service and may be able to help you if you have experienced an unforeseen, short-term crisis or if you are facing exceptional pressures because of an emergency.
We offer our help for a short time only if you have no other means of support, and if all other avenues of support have been exhausted. We do not provide money but support with essential items, like food, and help with utilities.
