CHFV, our peak body, are still involved in protracted negotiations with an increasingly inept and frustrating Housing Dept of DHS (fact, not opinion) in regards to the General Lease (this involves only Carrical for us) CHFV are presently advising all member organizations NOT to sign the General Lease at the present time. On the surface this seems to work quite well for us as we continue to prepare all of our documentation to prove we are General Lease ready for Departmental approval.
