The ABC is confirming what we allready suspected about the state of public housing in the ACT as they report on findings of the Auditor-General.
The auditor-general says high priority applicants are often waiting more than a year before being offered public housing and those with a lower priority may never receive an offer at all.
The report says there is a mismatch between the housing sought by applicants and the properties available.
… It says the Government’s policy of offering indefinite security of tenure may be inconsistent with its obligation under the Commonwealth State Housing Agreement to provide assistance “for the duration of need”.
