Between 2022 and 2024, we invested £12 million to help people struggling with the national cost of living crisis, supporting:
- our Crisis Assistance Fund
- support for local food banks and supermarket food vouchers
- warm spaces in the community
- and a home energy efficiency programme.
For 2025/26, we’re proposing more than £5m for a range of housing initiatives to support residents, including affordable warmth, empty properties, rough sleeper, disabled facility grants and temporary accommodation.
