Plans for a No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) Pilot
Department for Communities
A NILS market engagement and procurement process is commencing shortly and this will be structured to encourage joint bids from lenders in partnership with a local agency(ies) such as housing associations or local Councils, which could act as both a point of contact for customer referrals and funding partners.
The market engagement phase over the next few months will also seek to gather feedback on the scheme design and aim to identify local delivery partners. Webinars have been scheduled for 21st and 28th September hosted by Fair4All Finance to discuss this in greater detail, including the upcoming procurement process for local delivery partners.
