HOMELESSNESS STRATEGY

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (2 July 2013).

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

The 2013-14 Budget for Other Expenses of $1.726 million reported within Program 3: Social Housing of the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion's (DCSI) 2013-14 Agency Statements primarily relates to workers compensation expenses of South Australia Housing Trust's employees.

At the time of preparing the 2013-14 Agency Statements, DCSI's budget had not been adjusted to include the additional $1.8 million homelessness funding, so it is not reflected in any of DCSI's 2013-14 Budget figures.
