Homelessness:
I
refer to the local government partnership fund for homelessness grant
applications that closed on 15 October 2021 and received 11
applications.
(1) Is the
assessment process for the local government partnership fund for homelessness
applications that closed 15 October 2021 complete?
(a) If yes to (1), when will the Department of
Communities announce the successful grant recipients?
(b) If no to (1), when is it expected that the
assessment process will be completed and why has it taken more than four
months to assess 11 applications?
(2) Has the
department received any feedback from local governments regarding the funding
and grant requirements; and, if yes, what feedback has the department received?
(3) Why has the
local government partnership fund webpage on the Department of Communities
website been broken, moved or deleted?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) (a)–(b)
Yes. Successful applicants will be publicly announced once all applicants have
been notified.
(2) Following the
announcement of the grant, local governments sought further information to
assist with the development of their
applications. In response, the Department of Communities and the Western Australian Local Government Association jointly delivered an information
session.
(3) The
Department of Communities website was recently integrated into the state
government website. It appears that the link is currently working.
