The Crisis and Resilience Fund
The Crisis and 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 Cambridgeshire County 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.

- carrying out further research to understand resident’s need
