Household Support Fund

Funded by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the UK government, the Household Support Fund scheme supports vulnerable Kent households in need of help with significantly rising living costs.

Applications for the 2024 to 2025 HSF support scheme are now closed.

Details of the next round of Household Support Fund scheme funding (2025 to 2026) are currently being finalised for launch over the summer, and will be published here once they're available.

For any outstanding application queries relating to the last round of funding (2024 to 2025), email kcc-hsffoodandenergysupport@kent.gov.uk.
