Community Support Grants Coventry

Free

The Community Support Grant (CSG) is a vital safety-net scheme run directly by Coventry City Council's Benefits Service under their Crisis and Resilience Fund framework. Unlike general discretionary cash funds, this scheme is strictly designed to help vulnerable people establish or maintain a safe, independent life in the community. The grant specifically targets individuals who are moving into an unfurnished property following an unsettled period (such as leaving hospital, care systems, or prison, or fleeing domestic violence or natural disasters like a house fire). Rather than giving out cash directly to the applicant, the council uses specialized suppliers (such as AO.com or Amazon) to buy and deliver the appropriate items directly to the home based on the size of the household.
