The Victorian Government is undertaking a $15 million funding round to increase support for Victorians experiencing housing related financial challenges.
Under the funding round, not-for-profit community service organisations will be able to apply for funding to deliver financial counselling services to help people experiencing financial hardship due to mortgage or renting stress.
The funding round will open in July and will comprise 2 phases:
- an expression of interest (EOI) process, where we invited eligible respondents to put forward proposals for initial assessment; and
- a formal grant application process, where we invited respondents with shortlisted proposals to formally apply for a grant.
It is anticipated that grants will be awarded in November.
To register your interest in the funding round, please email vpf.grant.enquiries@justice.vic.gov.au and include your name and organisation.
