Crisis and Resilience Fund:
Delivering national support
at a local level
The Crisis and Resilience Fund is a £3 billion national fund, running from April 2026 - March 2029, giving local authorities £1 billion a year to support low-income households through immediate crisis and longer-term resilience.
Delivering the Crisis & Resilience Fund
The Fund has the potential to move households from crisis to long-term resilience but successful delivery depends on consistent, accountable administration across partners.
Local authorities and fund managers must manage fragmented delivery models, manual and time-consuming approval processes, heightened audit and compliance requirements, fraud exposure, and inconsistent delivery standards across providers.
Reporting is often retrospective and resource-heavy, with admin costs distributed through the delivery chain.
Charis Portal provides a single, governed delivery workflow supported by real-time reporting and built-in controls. Discover how Charis can support your plans with our Portal:
