Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Homelessness Services Homelessness Services The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Homelessness Services In reply to the Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14 May 2020). The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council Minister for Human Services Homelessness Services The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): I have been advised: Where multiple contracts performed by different agencies can be combined, as in the case of this new service, some efficiencies can be expected. In the instance of the tender for the housing advice, advocacy and engagement service, in which four existing services will be improved into one contract, an efficiency was applied to the total funding for the new service. These funds will be repurposed within the homelessness system where they can best meet customer need in alignment with the priority outcomes. There have been no budget reductions to the overall funding for the homelessness system in South Australia.
