Homelessness Sector Reform

In reply to the Hon. T.T. NGO (14 October 2020).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): I have been advised:

To ensure that all organisations are adequately prepared in advance of the release of the tender, SA Housing Authority has provided indicative time lines for the specialist homelessness services reforms procurement process to the specialist homelessness services sector.

Consistent with probity advice, indicative time lines were provided on:

3 September 2020 at the sector reference group meeting, which comprised representatives of each client cohort and across metropolitan and country areas

11 September 2020 through a communique to all specialist homelessness services

13 October 2020 at a briefing workshop for all specialist homelessness services.

When the time lines are finalised, all specialist homelessness services will be notified of key dates at the same time.
