Hull City Council

Resilience Grant

Hull City Council's non-repayable Resilience Grant (formerly Community Support Grant) helps vulnerable residents on qualifying benefits live as independently as possible in the community, for example setting up home after leaving care or an institution. It complements, but does not replace, community care and other agencies' support. Applications are currently taking 6 to 8 weeks because of a backlog.
