The Crisis Resilience Fund (CRF) is a grant provided to local authorities across England to help support low-income households. The fund runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029.
The aims of the fund are to:
- Provide effective crisis support
- Improve individuals’ financial resilience
- Bolster the local-level support landscape
You can find more information about CRF at Crisis and Resilience Fund (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029) - GOV.UK.
At Peterborough City Council, we have committed to using this fund to support households and individuals who are facing financial hardship. It will also help to build financial resilience amongst households and individuals. The fund will see £3.6m a year coming to Peterborough over the next three years to support residents in dealing with both short-term crisis and longer-term financial challenges, supporting them to become financially stable.
