Largest published Crisis and Resilience Fund allocations 2026/27

The ten largest local authority allocations published in Annex A of the Crisis and Resilience Fund Grant Determination 2026 to 2027. Allocation size is influenced by factors including authority responsibilities and local funding arrangements and should not be interpreted as a measure of council performance or generosity.

Crisis and Resilience Fund allocations by English region 2026/27

The sum of published local authority allocations in each English region. Regions contain different numbers of authorities with different responsibilities and populations, so a larger regional total does not mean more support per household.

Distribution of Crisis and Resilience Fund allocations 2026/27

How the published local authority allocations are distributed across allocation bands. Authority structure strongly affects allocation size: district councils receive Housing Payment and administration funding only, while unitary, metropolitan and London authorities also receive crisis and resilience funding.
