Description

Household Support Fund 2 (HSF2) in the County of Northamptonshire is in place, via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to provide households, within the region, financial support to mitigate increases in the cost-of-living. The DWP stipulate how each Unitary must distribute the funds within a range of household categories i.e., families with children, pensioners and households evidencing severe financial hardship. The main purpose of the EOI is to identify organisations that are capable of managing the 3rd category 'households evidencing financial hardship'. In order to meet the needs of households who are in severe financial hardship, especially regarding food and energy costs, we are looking for organisations who can operate locally for NNC in distributing HSF funds to households who evidence severe financial hardship. These funds will be issued mainly in the form of supermarket vouchers. The distribution will be in the first instance to smaller and bespoke voluntary and charitable organisations and thereafter directly to residents who meet the HSF criteria.
