Today was the first day tenant advice services didn’t get state funding.  That state funding is mainly from tenant bond interest but 31 October was the date of funding withdrawal.

The emergency Commonwealth money is on it’s way.  23 tenant advice services whose funding was cut by the state received funding contracts for the Commonwealth money late on Tuesday.  Services which were quick to turn around the signing of the contracts will have money very soon.

The most bizarre thing is that because  the Commonwealth decided to get the State to administer their emergency funds,the same bureaucrats are winding up the previous contracts and sending out the new ones.
