Tender Description
The Dignity First Fund (the Fund) is a state-wide Fund that has been introduced to build these vital services. The Fund has been developed to assist homeless people to meet their immediate needs in a way which reduces the impact of homelessness on the person or family.
This new Fund will sit alongside the Department of Housing and Public Works' (the department) existing strategies to address homelessness through the provision of targeted funding for innovative approaches to deliver and build a sense of dignity for people who are homeless.
