CONTEXT FOR PROVIDING HOUSING ASSISTANCE IN THE ACT Sample Clauses

CONTEXT FOR PROVIDING HOUSING ASSISTANCE IN THE ACT. Stable, secure and affordable housing is a critical element of the lives of all people in our community. All members of the community should be able to access housing that meets their needs. Without appropriate housing, members of our community cannot fully participate in education, employment, social and recreational and other activities that support their development and general wellbeing and that of our society. Although the ACT is relatively small in comparison to other States and Territories, the specific needs of its population are complex and challenging. These issues must be analysed and addressed in the context of the specific nature of housing need within the ACT. The Australian housing market, particularly in major cities, has undergone much change since the 1990s. Specifically, the cost of housing across all sectors has increased dramatically in the majority of cities and regional centres, making it difficult for people on low-moderate incomes to access housing. This, combined with changes in the employment market and other socio-economic factors, is changing the face of Australian society as many groups find themselves unable to access accommodation, employment and education. The social housing sector provides housing for a diverse group within our society. These are primarily people on low incomes and people with special and/or complex needs. Social housing provides choice and greater access to housing that caters for their specific requirements. Groups who are represented within social housing include, but are not limited to, the aged, youth, people with disabilities, Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islanders, people escaping domestic/family violence and people with mental health and alcohol and other drugs of dependence issues. For some time access to public housing has been increasingly targeted to assist those in greatest housing need. Some 85% of households in ACT public housing paid rebated rent in 2002-03, while 87.1% of allocations in 2002-03 were made to those meeting the National Housing data definition of ‘greatest need’. Under this Bilateral Agreement, the ACT Government seeks to provide, as far as practicable, housing options for the disadvantaged in our community, in a non-discriminatory, consultative environment.
