PUBLIC HOUSING — WAITLIST
1054. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Housing:
I refer to the housing options
assessment that is required to be submitted by potential public housing
applicants.
(1) For each of the following
years, how many people submitted a housing options assessment form —
(a) 2019–2020;
(b) 2020–2021;
(c) 2021–2022;
(d) 2022–2023 to date?
(2) For those in (1), how many
progressed to the social housing waitlist and how many were rejected?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
housing options assessment was implemented in the Department of Communities
service delivery practice from 28 September 2021.
The
data requested is not currently captured by the Department of Communities'
internal reporting systems and would require a manual review of
individual files. Given the level of agency resourcing required to provide this
detailed information, it is not considered to be a reasonable use of government
resources.
