Household support fund

Kent county council is currently working with citizens advice North and West Kent to help support residents on low incomes who are taking positive steps to address their debts. Residents could be eligible for additional support towards household and energy bill and receive up to £500 (subject to eligibility criteria) 

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for this scheme, residents must at a minimum meet the following qualifying criteria:  

• Be aged 16 or over.
• Be a Kent resident, permanently living within one of the 12 local authorities covered by Kent County Council (this excludes Medway, Bromley, and Bexley)  
• Be responsible for paying the household energy bill (one award per household). If a partner is awarded an energy card, but is not the main energy account holder, they can still use the card against the household energy costs.  
• Be accessing support through the ‘Kent Money Advice Hub’.

Other eligibilty criteria will apply and be assessed through the debt advice process.

If you would like to know more please see Kent Money Advice Hub. Please be advised that this service will close once all funds are spent or before 31st March 2024.
