Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF)
From 1 April 2026, the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) will be launched in England. This is a new Government-funded programme that replaces the Household Support Fund (HSF) and Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP).
The CRF is support for low-income households, designed to help people deal with a financial shock and prevent repeat crisis.
This financial year, Dudley Council’s CRF funding will run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.
As soon as the scheme is fully approved, this page will be updated.
