COOK House of Assembly Hurtle Vale Minister for Human Services Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well Homelessness Rate The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well) (14:31): Thank you for the question. The number does vary. The last number we had was that there were approximately 7,000 people on the list that would fit the criteria of homelessness, which is either rough sleeping, feeling at risk, or in a situation where they may become homeless because of an end of tenancy, or they might be in insecure housing, such as couch surfing or moving from one house to another.
