Bromley hardship funds available to households in need
By Joe Coughlan, Local Democracy Reporter
Bromley homes under financial pressure are being urged to apply for funds of up to £150.
Residents who are especially vulnerable to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis are eligible for the additional funding.
Bromley council has listed eligible households as families receiving council tax support or with children on free school meals, as well as families with children who are at school age.
Carers, care leavers and residents in temporary accommodation are also included, as well as households with low incomes, pensioners, disabilities or those experiencing domestic abuse or exceptional financial hardship.
The council has received £1.9 million of government funding for residents who are most in need. Applications for individual households can be filled online, with residents having the choice of either a £150 virtual payment card or a Sainsbury’s gift card of the same value.
