Household Support Fund
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make it her policy to extend the Housing Support Fund.
Answered by Alison McGovern
£500 million is being provided to enable the current Household Support Fund, including funding for Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula to be spent at their discretion. This means Local Authorities in England are receiving £421 million to support those in need locally.
The current Household Support Fund will be in place until 30 September 2024.
As a new government, we are reviewing all policies, including the Household Support Fund.
