Eligibility summary

Available in: England.
Open to individuals — not restricted to businesses.
Relevant income bands: earning under the Personal Allowance.

Notes: Support is a store voucher for the value of white goods/beds needed, not cash. A separate, narrower scheme from Westminster's main Crisis and Resilience Fund (see that entry, still not yet launched at research time) — worth checking whether CRF supersedes or sits alongside this scheme once fully live.
Requirement: Receiving Housing Benefit or the Universal Credit housing element, with savings below £3,000, and either moving to new accommodation via a council-supported move or returning home after an extended stay in hospital/residential care.
