502 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (9 July 2013). With reference to 2013-14 Budget Paper 4, vol. 2 sub-program 6.1, p. 110: Community Connect—

1. Which non-government organisations received funding for rental subsidy support grants?

2. Which agencies received funding for the utilities literacy program and the emergency financial assistance program and how much did they receive for this financial year?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. Subsidies are being provided by the government to non-government organisations that were relocated from the Torrens building in 2008. However, these subsidies were not allocated as grants, or from a grants program, but were fixed term rental subsidies.

2. The Utilities Literacy Program is in the final stages of a request for tender process. Allocation of funding to agencies will occur once the procurement process has been finalised.

In 2013-14, Emergency Financial Assistance Program funding has been provided to agencies until 31 December 2013. The funding allocation from 1 January 2014 is pending the outcome of the Family and Community Development Program tender process.
