Public Accounts Committee

Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rosemary Tobin:

The CEOs of the non-governmental organisations, NGOs, had written in to the Department raising concerns about funding in general and the need to look at the funding model to ensure that the funding model was delivering the full cost recovery of homeless services. We have been working with the NGOs since then. That has been since 2022 or 2023.

In terms of raising a concern specifically about housing first, I do not have recollection of that. My colleague Ms Peyton is nodding. I want to double-check that with her.
