Housing Payment from the Crisis and Resilience Fund
Housing Payment from the Crisis and Resilience Fund
If you receive Housing Benefit / Housing Costs but are still struggling to pay your rent, you might be able to get help from us through the government's Housing Payment from the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF).
The CRF is specifically for residents who have a shortfall between the cost of their rent and the value of the Housing Benefit / Housing Costs they receive.
The payments are for a maximum of six months and cannot be relied upon long-term.
All cases will be judged on an applicant by applicant basis and are based on personal financial circumstances.
The amount we allocate could cover all or part of the shortfall in rent but cannot be used to meet costs such as Council Tax.
