Household Support Fund

The government’s Household Support Fund (Round 8) has now ended.

This support is being replaced nationally by the Crisis and Resilience Fund.

We do not yet know whether any funding will be allocated to local authorities in the same way as previous Household Support Fund rounds.

We will update this page as soon as further information is available.

If you are in an emergency situation regarding your housing costs, please contact our Housing Solutions Team on 0300 123 4000 (selecting option 3).

Help with energy, water, and food bills

You must make an application to Suffolk Local Welfare Assistance Scheme, administered by Suffolk County Council. If you need help to apply, a partner organisation, such as Citizens Advice, can assist you in submitting your application.

Please visit the Cost of living support section of Suffolk County Council's website for more information.
