WNC – New Crisis & Resilience Fund (CRF) now live
West Northamptonshire Council has launched the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF) – a new, three‑year programme funded by the UK Government to help residents with financial wellbeing.
Published: 3 April 2026
The CRF brings together four connected strands of support:
- Crisis Support – short‑term help for sudden emergencies only
- Housing Support – help with essential housing costs
- Resilience Support – tools and advice for everyday money worries
- Community Support – support available through trusted local places
While Crisis Support is available for a small number of urgent situations, most residents will be better supported through Resilience, Housing or Community services.
Customer‑facing information is available on the CRF webpages, and colleagues are encouraged to direct residents there: https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/food-household-and-everyday-essentials/crisis-and-resilience-fund-…
