I thank the member for some notice of this question. This answer has only just come to hand. (1) (a) The Department of Housing and Works is unable to provide the information requested as it only started collecting data from January 2000. (b) 240 - January to June 2000. (c) 365. (d) 425. (2) It is for tenants who present with multiple problems that might impact on their ability to maintain a tenancy. These may include antisocial behaviour, poor property standards, rental arrears and other social and health problems. (3) Regional management makes a decision in consultation with the tenant. The program is targeted at those tenants most in need of support.
