(1) What recommended options for the proposal to construct an Indigenous Boarding House have been approved;
(2) How much of the $3.2 funding rolled over into the 2005-06 financial year will now be allocated to the construction of an Indigenous Boarding House.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Breaking the Cycle – The ACT Homelessness Strategy launched in April 2004 recommended the establishment of a hostel style accommodation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. In response to this, $3.2m of the funding provided in the 2003-2004 3rd Appropriation was identified for the provision of a hostel styled accommodation service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Jalinari Associates have been engaged by Housing ACT to consult with stakeholders, including the indigenous community to identify the likely level of demand and target groups and to recommend the most appropriate service model.
(2) The total amount of the $3.2m provided under the 2003-2004 3rd Appropriation has been earmarked for the provision of the Indigenous Boarding House.
