About the Household Support Fund (HSF)

We manage the Department for Work and Pensions' Household Support Fund for the The Isle of Wight, which helps those who need support with the cost of living.

The current funding from the Department for Work and Pensions runs until March 2024. We have more funding coming through and will share the details as soon as we have them. You can contact the Household Support Fund team direct by email: hsf@iow.gov.uk
