Grants and support for households and tenants
Scottish Welfare Fund
The Scottish Welfare Fund crisis grant can assist those affected by flooding if they do not have any other form of support, for example, if they do not have home or contents insurance. They can provide emergency one-off payments to assist with immediate living expenses, such as food, gas and electricity.
Any support received from the Scottish Welfare Fund will not affect benefit entitlements.
Property flood resilience product subsidy scheme
Subsidised property flood resilience equipment is available if your property is at risk from flooding. The scheme offers various products and we'll provide a subsidy for equivalent products if requested.
Property flood resilience products give protection against flood water entering your property. They act as a barrier to water entry points, such as doors, air vents and air brick covers.
You can request a free flood survey to work out which flood protection products you may need.
