HLPAS interested in delivering to Barnsley and Lancaster
The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) funds the Housing Loss and Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS) across England and Wales to deliver early legal advice to anyone at risk of possession proceedings and losing their home, as well as emergency advice and advocacy in court to anyone facing possession proceedings. The advice can be given in relation to housing, debt, and welfare benefits issues.
This service lets those at risk of losing their home or possessions access free legal advice, and representation in court, regardless of their financial situation.
The LAA is now inviting providers who hold Housing and Debt contracts, to express an interest in delivering HLPAS in Barnsley and/or Lancaster.
Those interested in delivering the service can contact civil.contracts@justice.gov.uk by 5pm on 14th January 2025 to receive detail on the next steps.
