Household Support Fund

The Household Support Fund is currently closed for applications.

The most recent phase of the Household Support Fund scheme closed on 31 March 2025.

A new phase will be launching shortly and updates – including details on how and when to apply – will be published on this page in due course. Please check back regularly for the latest information.

In the meantime, if you are in urgent need of support, you may be eligible for a community support grant.

Help with housing costs may also be available:

  • if you rent from a private landlord or housing association, you can apply for a discretionary payment.
  • if you are a Leicester City Council tenant, please contact your housing officer directly.

For general financial or benefits-related advice, please contact Citizens Advice Leicester, or call them on 0808 278 7970.

Thank you for your patience while we prepare for the next phase of the scheme.
