Community Inclusion & Household Debt Pilot Project

In 2005, the ACT Community Inclusion Board commissioned research be undertaken on lateral responses to household debt and community exclusion. Care was a partner agency in the Pilot project, employing a full-time financial counsellor to act as a Project Officer. The Pilot was managed by the YWCA of Canberra, with the Y also employing a part-time Project Officer. The Community Inclusion Board is currently considering a package of reports. Care’s contribution to that package of reports is available via the following link:”
