Crisis and Resilience Fund

The Government has announced that there will be a new Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) launching from April 2026 to provide emergency financial support to eligible residents. The new scheme will run for three years.

The primary objectives of the CRF are to provide a safety net for those on low incomes who encounter a financial shock and to invest in building local financial resilience to reduce the need for crisis support in the long-term.

Local councils have received detailed guidance from the Government and are currently considering the best way to support Nottinghamshire residents moving forward.  

Whilst this is not a replacement for the Household Support Fund (HSF) the HSF scheme will end by Tuesday 31 March 2026.

This webpage will be updated with further information once local plans have been approved.
