HOMELESSNESS —
DOORS WIDE OPEN
646. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Homelessness:
I refer to the Bunbury-based drug
and homelessness support service, Doors Wide Open, which is facing a critical
funding shortfall.
(1) Is the
government aware of media reports stating that Doors Wide Open is facing the
prospect of having to close its doors due to lack of funds?
(2) What past funding has the
government provided to Doors Wide Open?
(3) Can the minister detail what financial support the
government will provide to Doors Wide Open in the future?
(4) Will the
minister commit to doing everything he can to enable this invaluable community
service to continue operating?

I thank the member for some notice of the question, and I provide
the following answer on behalf of the Leader of the House representing the
Minister for Homelessness.

The service to which the honourable member has made reference is not contracted
by the Department of Communities to deliver homelessness services; rather, it
is primarily a drug and alcohol service.
