Homelessness

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:56): Further supplementary: what additional support has been provided since the Shelter SA report of 2020?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:56): I could go into a long discussion—

The Hon. C.M. Scriven: In Coober Pedy.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: —about the alliance model, which the honourable member is tempting me to via her interjections. What the alliance model does is, rather than prescribing for each particular non-government service provider, of which there are quite a number who under the previous model used to receive a particular amount of funding which was directed towards particular programs, what they are able to do through their new model is to respond internally so that they are able to address local needs as they arise. My understanding is that particularly in country areas that model is going well.
