Affordable Housing

232 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (13 October 2020). What modelling has been undertaken to determine how many people who are living within social housing would be able to afford an affordable or market house?

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:

An evaluation was undertaken by HomeStart in January 2020. This analysis included tenants' age, creditworthiness, and ability to save a deposit.

As SA Housing Authority and community housing providers do not collect this data from all tenants, for example, those households paying full market rent, it is not possible to accurately predict the number of social housing tenants that can afford an affordable or market value house.
