MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services
In relation to your statement (Estimates Committee uncorrected proof transcript, page 134 of 23 June 1994) relating to information provided to Laurens by the ACT Housing Trust to trace debts
(1) Is this information, ie forwarding addresses and dates of birth, now maintained by the Trust data base; if so, (a) for how long has it been so maintained; and (b) what details are included.
(2) Is it intended to place all existing tenants on this improved data base and if so, when will this listing be completed.
(3) If it is not intended to upgrade any or all existing tenants at (2); why not.
MR LAMONT - The answer to the Members question is as follows
(1) The Trusts data base, ISIP, maintains forwarding address (where this is provided on advice of vacation by the tenant); and date of birth (which is provided by tenants upon application for tenancy, and in relation to rental rebate reassesment.
(a) Forwarding address was maintained under the Trusts previous data base and is maintained by the current ISIP data base when this information is provided by a tenant upon vacation. However, a large percentage of tenants who vacate premises with arrears do not advise the Trust of vacation or provide forwarding addresses. Date of birth was not maintained under the Trusts previous data base; however, it now is maintained by the current ISIP data base.
(b) Forwarding address including street number, street name, suburb, town, and postcode, and, for all new tenants and existing tenants who receive a rental rebate, date of birth.
(2) All existing tenants are listed on the ISIP data base except Narrabundah Caravan Park tenants and Jerrabomberra House residents. Narrabundah Caravan Park will be listed on the ISIP system by December.
(3) Jerrabomberra House residents will not be listed on the ISIP system as this is short stay/overnight accommodation for people in crisis.
