Crisis & Resilience Fund for Financial Support
/in News/by ClerkWest Northamptonshire Council has launched the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) – a new, three‑year programme funded by the UK Government to help residents with financial wellbeing.
The CRF brings together four connected strands of support:
- Crisis Support – short‑term help for sudden emergencies only
- Housing Support – help with essential housing costs
- Resilience Support – tools and advice for everyday money worries
- Community Support – support available through trusted local places
While Crisis Support is available for a small number of urgent situations, most residents will be better supported through Resilience, Housing or Community services.
