The fund, which had been due to expire at the end of September 2024, provides crucial support for families in financial hardship.
Haringey Council Leader, Cllr Peray Ahmet, said:
Today’s decision by the government to extend the Household Support Fund to March next year is welcome news for our borough.
Like councils across the country, we have campaigned for the extension, and I’m pleased those calls have been heeded.
We know our residents are facing enormous cost-of-living pressures and this continued funding will enable us to provide much-needed vital support to our most vulnerable households and anyone in financial hardship.
The funding will make a significant difference to struggling families as we do everything in our power to assist them through the winter months.
