1. 2,973 termination notices issued.
Eviction is a last resort for the Department of Housing and Works. The Department works with tenants to ensure they are given every opportunity to rectify the issues impacting on their tenancy. This includes making appropriate referrals to supports and programs such as Thrive, which provides support to public housing clients.
When a tenant is at risk of eviction, the Department will increase their contact with the client and link them with relevant support services to help address the issues impacting their tenancy, and, in most cases, people remedy the issues impacting their tenancy.
After a termination notice or court order is issued, the Department will continue to work with tenants to rectify issues impacting their tenancy. Even following eviction orders, tenants have the opportunity to remediate their tenancy and engage with the Department.
