Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP) has recently announced the launch of the LHP Hardship Fund, an initiative aimed at providing support to customers who are struggling financially due to the current cost of living crisis. Through the Fund, customers can receive vouchers to purchase essential items such as food, household goods, fuel, and furniture.
To access the fund, customers must contact LHP’s Money Support Service and complete a welfare form to outline their specific support needs, as well as an income and expenditure form to prove financial hardship. Customers can request a maximum of £250 per household, and the amount provided will be determined based on their specific need.
LHP is also identifying new customers who may struggle with affordability and need assistance. A pre-tenancy financial assessment is conducted and if the assessment concludes that a household has £20 or less available income per week per person, they are referred to the Money Support Service for assistance.
The Fund is supported by various charitable providers, including the British Heart Foundation and YMCA, who can provide basic furniture items. In addition, LHP is also working with Wonde e-vouchers, who currently provide vouchers for fuel and food, to provide vouchers for Carpet Right, furniture items from Argos and white goods from Curry’s.
Wendy Walker, Head of Income and Enforcement at LHP, said: “At a time when many households are struggling to make ends meet due to rising living costs, the LHP Hardship Fund offers much-needed relief for those in need. By providing vouchers for essential items, LHP is helping its customers to maintain their independence and dignity during difficult times.”
