Household Support Fund 5 Update

Household Support Fund Update: 22nd July 24

Since its extension in March 2024, HSF has experienced significant demand for support, both through direct applications to the County Council and via the Trusted Partner Network. This demand has led to substantial expenditure and Cambridgeshire County Council now needs to take steps to effectively manage the funding allocated for Cambridgeshire to ensure the scheme does not become overspent. 

Applications for financial awards shall close at 9am on Friday 26 July 2024. Our HSF team shall be contacting people already on the waiting list after applications close to offer support with wider support needs.

Direct applicants under 65, please refer to the Cambridgeshire County Council website for links to further support and information.
