When this came up with the Oireachtas joint committee when the DRHE was with us, the housing first tender was very much the DRHE's process, what was said on that day was that the tender was allowing for a reliance on fundraising. They were allowing the bidders to say, "We are going to take this much of your money to deliver the service, and we are also going to rely on fundraising."
