Public Housing

173 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (21 July 2020). Of the tenants within public housing, what is the percentage of income sources for those tenants?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

As at 30 June 2020, the main income source for public housing tenants paying a reduced rent was 95.1 per cent in receipt of a government payment, 4.6 per cent with a wage income and 0.2 per cent as another income.

As market rent payers do not need to advise SA Housing Authority of their income, they have been excluded from the percentage of income sources.
