About this Dataset

Household Support Grant Phase 1 Data

The Household Support Grant (HSG) is a fund provided by the Department for Work and Pensions and administered by local authorities. The purpose of the fund is to provide targeted support to households at risk of economic crisis. Support is offered to provide funds for food, contribution towards energy and water bills and essential items linked to energy and water such as white goods.

The scheme ran in this phase from 1st October 2021 until 31st March 2022.

The data within this dataset shows how the fund was distributed to city residents, based upon the spend criteria provided by the DWP. There is a table of total spend, awards and the number of children that were supported as well as a map showing distribution of spend by ward.

For more details of the ward level breakdown please see the supporting dataset HSF Phase 1 Ward Data.
