The State Government will make 100 vacant public housing flats available to rough sleepers who were put up in motels during July’s seven-day lockdown, but concerns remain about 200 more households who were also placed in temporary accommodation.
A State Government move to narrow the eligibility criteria for social housing has been described as a “distraction” by housing advocates, who say the diminishing number of Housing Authority properties are already limited to the state’s most vulnerable.
South Australia’s most vulnerable rough sleepers will be moved into renovated public housing units staffed by health and security workers as part of a 15-month State Government trial beginning next month.
Renovation work has finally started on a 21-unit State Government-owned public housing block that has remained empty and dilapidated for three years, despite $4 million being set aside for upgrades in 2018.
