I know that the minister is aware of the pressures on welfare agencies in Mandurah. Has she been able to secure additional funding for the Mandurah area to alleviate the problems associated with youth issues and homelessness? Ms S.M. McHALE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for his question and acknowledge his constant lobbying on behalf of his electorate. Whenever I go into his electorate, the positive feedback I receive indicates that he is a very strong member. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Ms S.M. McHALE: I am pleased to inform the member that new funding through the Department for Community Development has been committed to the Peel region. The new amount of $28 000 will provide outreach services to women needing women’s refuges and $25 000 has been allocated to support children living in refuges. A new service for support and advocacy to help people retain their housing and to avoid homelessness will start early next year. In particular, I inform the members for Mandurah and Dawesville that Calvary Youth Services, which has experienced financial viability pressures since 2000, will now receive an increase of $31 000 to its recurrent funding. This service provides a 24-hour, seven days-a-week crisis and medium-term accommodation to young people in Mandurah and the Shires of Murray, Waroona and Boddington. The Calvary board has worked hard to develop a revised service model that is cost effective. This increase, which takes the service’s total funding to approximately $324 000, recognises the value of the service and the Government’s concern to provide services to young people in crisis. I ask the member for Mandurah to please pass on my thanks to the board of Calvary Youth Services, and I thank him for his patient and persistent lobbying.
