Burnley Council Announces New Round of Household Support Funding

Burnley Borough Council has secured £506,148 in funding from Lancashire County Council to launch the sixth phase of the Household Support Fund (HSF6), dedicated to supporting residents most impacted by the ongoing cost of living crisis.  

The Executive are set to approve this funding on the 27th November 2024 which will enable resources to be allocated across multiple initiatives to address urgent needs related to food, housing, and energy efficiency, providing essential support to Burnley’s most vulnerable residents. 

The HSF will enable the council to distribute direct payments to those in need and support local charities, food banks, and advice services. A portion of the fund will be allocated to the Affordable Warmth Grant, which provides crucial support such as boiler servicing, repairs, and energy efficiency improvements to help residents stay safe and warm during winter.
