Human Services Minister Jacquie Petrusma must assure organisations working in homelessness and associated programs that their funding is secure or risk a collapse of the sector, Shadow Human Services Minister Rebecca White said today.
The Federal Government has extended the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness to June 30 2015, however the funding must be matched by a commitment of $2.8 million per annum from the Hodgman Government.
Despite last week’s Supplementary Appropriation Bill the sector is still unaware as to whether funding for the 2014-2015 financial year will be provided.
