The Homeless Law legal service in Victoria reports that 52 new cases of clients being threatened with eviction have arisen between April and June 2014, of which 24 relate to public housing tenants. At the same time the State Government has further reduced the funding for its Social Housing Advocacy & Support Program, from $A5.8m to $A4.7m. This is despite a confidential report by KPMG showing that the scheme is a major contributor to Victoria surpassing the targets set by the national partnership agreement on homelessness
