Coronavirus, Homeless Accommodation

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:22): Supplementary: can the minister outline to the chamber how many people who are at risk of homelessness are currently accommodated in hotel accommodation in Adelaide according to the latest statistics?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:22): I think I might have mentioned that the CEARS program, which is the COVID-related one, has ceased operating, so not through that particular program. There is an emergency support program which has operated alongside and has continued throughout the height of restrictions but that is a statewide service.
