Apply for a Crisis Resilience Fund - Housing Payment
From April 2026 Discretionary Housing Payments in England will cease to be delivered but will change into the Crisis Resilience Fund Housing Payment. This will be a separate grant within the Crisis Resilience Fund administered by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Benefit’s Team until April 2028.
For the full details of the policy here.
Crisis Resilience Fund - Housing Payment are not payments of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support. This fund is available for those who face a shortfall in meeting their housing costs.
They are separate payments made at the council's discretion in cases where it considers that extra help with housing or council tax costs is needed. These payments are made from a limited budget allocated by the Department for Work and Pensions.
