Crisis and Resilience Fund
The Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) is Harrow Council’s support to help low-income households facing financial hardship, unexpected financial shocks or emergencies, while also supporting longer-term financial resilience and independence.
On behalf of the Department of Work and Pensions, Harrow Council runs the CRF which aims to provide targeted support to residents who are struggling to meet essential living costs and have no other means of assistance available.
Who can apply for the CRF Crisis Payments?
You may be eligible to apply if:
- You are a resident of the London Borough of Harrow.
- You are experiencing financial hardship or an unforeseen financial crisis.
- You have insufficient income, savings or other resources to meet your immediate essential needs.
- You meet the eligibility criteria set out in the CRF Policy.
All applications are assessed individually, considering household circumstances, financial need and available support options.
