Subject: Official Information request - Example of loan agreement for emergency accommodation

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Please furnish a redacted example or template of the text of the contract that heads of households sign when agreeing to repay funds disbursed by MSD to providers of temporary or emergency accommodation, including its disclosure of terms and penalties.

I would be most interested in the standard text from the current calendar year (2016).

Yours faithfully,

Phil Stevens
