Please find information below about how to access The Birmingham Household Support Fund if you are experiencing financial difficulties. 

 

The Household Support Fund is open as of yesterday. It will be working slightly differently this time. Please direct households to the BVSC website, where they can fill in a form to determine suitability for the grant. They will then be emailed about the outcome and next steps to apply if suitability is determined. 

 

The eligibility criteria are as follows:

• You must be a Birmingham Resident

• You must be experiencing hardship, particularly with regards to covering costs linked to food and energy

• You must not have received a hardship grant payment since June 2022

   

Proof of address and proof of means-tested benefits (if in receipt of them) will also be needed if invited to apply.
