Discretionary housing payments

How are DHPs funded

Discretionary housing payments are funded by central government.

We provide details of our use of DHP funds to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) twice a year.

These are published for the first six months of the financial year and then for the whole of the financial year. Find out more.
