Government crest with text 'Funded by UK Government

The CRF is funded by the UK Government, runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, and replaces the Household Support Fund (HSF), continuing to provide vital help when residents need it most.

Crisis Payment

A Crisis Payment is available to Croydon residents who are experiencing an urgent financial emergency. It offers short‑term help with essential, one‑off costs when there is no other way to pay for them. This support is intended to help resolve an immediate crisis quickly.

Find out more about the Crisis Payment.

Housing Payment

A Housing Payment can help Croydon residents with costs related to keeping or finding a home. This may include help to reduce rent arrears where a tenancy is at risk, support to prevent homelessness, or assistance with costs linked to moving into a new property. The aim is to help residents remain safely housed or secure suitable accommodation.
