With the establishment of a new Ministry for Housing and Urban Development the head of MSD is reiterating his department is the first port of call for those needing housing assistance:
"At the Ministry of Social Development we will still provide services such as covering emergency housing costs, providing access to transitional housing, and offering financial assistance such as the accommodation supplement.Last year MSD spent $1.942 billion on the accommodation supplement and income related rents.
"Last year we provided approximately $900 million in rental subsidies for those in need."
That's a minimum figure for total subsidies. There are other expenses like putting people up in motels ie emergency housing provision.
What is he talking about?
