Veterans Affairs

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised that Veterans SA does not collect specific data on the number of veterans affected by homelessness.

The outstanding team at Andrew Russell Veteran Living provides critical services to veterans experiencing homelessness.

The 2024-25 federal budget includes a $30 million investment to build more housing and provide specialist services for veterans and families who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
