The budget was cast on 15 April. The cabinet decision about the homelessness strategy was made on 29 April. The Government’s homelessness strategy involves expenditure of $10.5 million from the current budget; that is, between now and 30 June. The remaining funds do not appear in the budget papers because the decision to expend them was made 14 days after the decision relating to the casting of the budget.
