You’ll remember we posted before about the Federal FaHCSIA bureaucrats working hard on the funding contracts for tenant advice service and then there was an announcement that the state would administer the funds.  That means the same bureaucrats will be both wrapping up one contract to withdraw state funds, whilst signing a new contract for virtually the same services with the Commonwealth funding.

It was hoped the new contracts would be out by now, given the state funding withdrawal date of October 31 but there seems to have been a delay.  Services do not yet know when agreements will come out or how much their funding will be.  It is a nervous time for tenant advice services and workers.
