Interested contractors must express their interest by 25 September 2024 and the project period spans from 31 October 2024 to 31 March 2025.

We are not in a position to make major system changes, and so want this to focus on the areas we can impact now: Discovery with people with lived experience of homelessness or debt, linking with local third sector organisations to support this. We can also share previous relevant work in this area.
