The money is given to local authorities to help residents who are in 'immediate need' to cover the costs of essentials such as water bills and food
Nottinghamshire residents in need of support with the cost of living could get a one-off payment in December following the Government’s extension of funding. The Household Support Fund was first launched by the Government in October 2021 and has been allocated through local councils in five phases.
Last month, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the funding to local authorities would be extended to a sixth phase, with the County Council again being given £5,646,450, according to council documents published on Monday . This money will be used up until the end of March 2025. On the back of the Household Support Fund, people within the County Council, district and borough councils and other professional bodies formed a group that is able to request support on other people’s behalf.
Around £4.5 million of the funding will help households with essential costs and £400,000 will be used to provide struggling people with other necessities like cookers and washing machines.
