Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much funding has been (a) allocated and (b) paid to local authorities in England under the Crisis and Resilience Fund for 2026-27, broken down by local authority; and what funding is planned for 2027-28 and 2028-29.

Figures for the allocated funding for the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) in England broken down by local authority for the period 2026-27 were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG). This funding includes the top up for heating oil costs and the information is available here: Crisis and Resilience Fund Grant Determination 2026 to 2027 - GOV.UK.

The allocations for the CRF for the 2027-28 and 2028-29 period are also published by MHCLG. The relevant information can be found under two separate tabs labelled ‘Consolidated grants 2027-28’ and ‘Consolidated grants 2028-29’ in a spreadsheet available here: Allocations tables for all consolidated grants from 2026-2027 to 2028-29: final - GOV.UK.

With regards to the amount of CRF funding which has already been paid to local authorities in England, this is paid in monthly instalments as per the grant determination linked above.
