Abstract

The Household Support Fund (HSF) is a discretionary fund introduced in 2021 for local authorities in England to support struggling households. After five waves of support, the Government has announced it will renew the HSF for a sixth instalment - extending the fund until the end of March 2025. This briefing draws from two studies into the HSF: a Research England funded analysis of the scheme drawing on work with twelve local authorities, and a new Nuffield Foundation funded project, exploring devolved welfare across the UK, which includes the collection of data on the HSF and other local welfare funds across 2024 and 2025.
