(b) Funding for the period 1 July to 31 December 2010 was $181,917 (GST exclusive)
Implementation of the program involved community consultation during 2009-10. Feedback received from this process was used to develop the Building Housing Partnerships – Supportive Tenancy Service.
(2) The Building Housing Partnerships- Supportive Tenancy Service will continue to be delivered in the periods 1 January -30 June 2011 and 2011-2012.
(a) The Service has been allocated $375,834 (GST exclusive) funding for the period 1 January - 30 June 2011

(a) The Treasury costing for the Building Housing Partnerships program in 2008 was $750,000 over a three year period. The total costing of the Building Housing Partnerships- Supportive Tenancy Service for the three year period 2009-10 to 2011-12 is expected to be $1,253,657 (GST exclusive). This exceeds the Treasury costing provided in 2008.
