Neighbourhood houses bring people together to connect, learn and contribute to the local community. They play an important role in providing services uniquely tailored to each community.

The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) is seeking funding submissions for a neighbourhood house provider to deliver services tailored to the community needs of Emerald, Victoria.

We are looking for organisations who will:

• support the provision of community development programs and activities which lead to community-strengthening outcomes.
• implement robust governance and financial oversight arrangements to ensure appropriate organisational management and successful program delivery
• have strong and positive community networks and relationships for successful and inclusive service delivery to all community members.
• undertake community development and consultation processes to identify and respond to local priorities and needs.

Funding of $96,889 per year (GST exclusive, plus indexation) will be allocated to the successful provider for an initial period of two years through the NHCP.
