Thanks to the remarks from the Minister there. When we talk about getting people into housing, we’re often talking about getting them out of homelessness. The Housing First Movement I’ve referred to in the past points out the dramatic decrease in government’s other service costs.
When we meet the lower costs of providing housing, you avoid emergency issues and so on. We need to look at the big picture.
Can the Minister say how the Housing Corporation includes in its analysis of policy, for example, such as we’re discussing the financial benefits of reduced costs of other services when people are housed, or why this isn’t taken into account if they don’t in a total cost-benefit analysis.
