Emergency support scheme

The council has a limited fund to help Knowsley residents with food and/or fuel in an emergency. Our scheme may provide some support for essential items of furniture and/or white goods in very specific circumstances where the resident has suffered a major upheaval.

Apply for a discretionary housing payment

The Discretionary Housing Payment Scheme grants the Local Authority the power to award an additional payment to people in receipt of Housing Benefit or Universal Credit who need more help with their housing costs.
