Homelessness Services

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:59): Of the $6.3 million that the minister mentioned to accommodate vulnerable people, how much of that will be applied to people in regional areas?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:59): It's hard to say, depending on where they originate from. We know that there is often a number of people who come into the CBD because that's where the services are. We have certainly seen during the COVID period that there was a migration of some people into the city because they needed that level of support. There can be quite a number of mobile populations. I don't think we have earmarked those places based on where people come from. It will be based on need, and there will be some form of allocation program that will be based on vulnerability.
