The Household Support fund ended on 31 March 2026.

It has been replaced by the Crisis and Resilience Fund administered by Derbyshire County Council. 

If you receive housing benefit or the housing element in Universal Credit you can apply for a Housing Payment under the Crisis and Resilience Fund.

If you are in urgent need of financial help following a crisis or disaster, or if you need help to settle or remain in your home, you may be able to make a claim for a cash payment from the Derbyshire Discretionary Fund.
