In December 2025 the UK government announced a new fund called the Crisis and Resilience Fund. This replaces the Household Support Fund which ended in March 2026.
The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) is available to councils in England to help people on low incomes if they face sudden money problems. It also supports activities that help people and communities become more financially secure.
The new CRF funding covers the period of 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 inclusive.
Surrey County Council will receive £7.1 million for March 2026 through to April 2027.
Next steps
Surrey County Council is working with partner organisations to put the right systems in place so that funding goes to the people who need it most.
