Overview
- Camden Council is offering payments of up to £500 for residents facing emergency financial hardship through its Household Support Fund scheme.
- Eligibility in Camden includes living in the borough for at least six weeks, being the main tenant or council tax payer, and meeting age rules of 18+ or 16+ if living independently.
- Applicants must provide recent bank statements for all accounts, details of income, savings and benefits, and any relevant evidence of debt.
- Submitting an application authorizes the council to review benefit-calculator results and to share information with external advice partners if referrals are made.
- The Household Support Fund runs to March 31, 2026 for some support, with offers varying by council including Stockton-on-Tees vouchers, York £100 payments, Portsmouth tiered awards, and separate £200 hardship grants administered in Birmingham.
