Seven SAAP-funded services rent 13 houses and 22 flats (including 4 bedsitters) from the Housing Trust. Advice from these services is that current resources are insufficient to meet demand. There is often a waiting list.

(2) No.

(3) The Housing Trust does not maintain a record of such victims of domestic violence where they have been provided with accommodation through the normal allocation process. It would be difficult to provide statistics of the victims of domestic violence who have been provided accommodation through priority housing allocation.

In SAAP services, client confidentiality is maintained in the interest of personal safety. SAAP services are therefore not required to give details of the cause for a client being homeless and in crisis or details of their previous accommodation.

(4) There is no such agreement between the ACT and other States or Territories of Australia. The Housing Trust does not maintain a record of such matters.

(5) The Housing Trust is unaware of the case in question. The Housing Trust would require further information to help it provide an answer.
