Crisis and Resilience Fund
The Crisis and Resilience Fund
The Crisis and Resilience Fund is funded by the UK Government. You may be able to get help with essential costs. This could help if you’re struggling to afford things like:
- energy and water bills
- food
- essential items
- housing costs
It also aims to help residents build the skills and support they need to manage money problems and cope with unexpected costs.
Who the Crisis and Resilience Fund is for
Funding is aimed at anyone who’s vulnerable or cannot pay for essentials.
Available support
The fund offers three types of support:
- Help with housing costs, called Housing Payments. More information is available here – Housing Payments | Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
- Help in an emergency, called Crisis Payments. This will open in autumn 2026. We will add more information here about who can apply, how to apply and how much support is available.
- Help to manage money worries. This will be available from autumn 2026. We will add more information here.
