Please confirm
1. The number of applications to the Household Support Fund during the 12 months to 31st December 2022.
We do not hold this information as it is not a reporting requirement of the DWP scheme
2. The monetary amount of support provided to applicants to the Household Support Fund during the 12 months to 31st December 2022.
We do not hold this data in the way it has been requested but hold it for each Household Support Fund (a 6 month period) – Scheme Nos. 1,2 &3:
Household Support Fund 1
Total Value of Awards – £4,394,725
Household Support Fund 2
Total Value of Awards – £5,022,965.92
Household Support Fund 3
Total Value of Awards – £ 2,514,248.74 (Interim MI – Oct – Dec 2022)
3. The number of successful applicants to the Household Support Fund during the 12 months to 31st December 2022.
We don’t hold this data in the way it has been requested we can confirm that the total number of households helped for each of the HSF scheme (excluding Administration costs) for HSF1, 2 and 3 (interim – Oct-Dec 2022) was 263,144 from 1st Oct 2021-31st Dec 2022
4. If possible, I would also like to know the outstanding monetary amount from the Household Support Fund that is available before the scheme ends on 31st March 2023.
Most of the funding has been allocated to a variety of support gateways. Currently, there is £59,934.11 remaining unallocated from the HSF3 scheme but this is likely to alter as we review spend and re-allocate further funds to the various support gateways managed by our partners.
