AIHW web report: Housing assistance in Australia 2016 - June 2nd

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has released a new web report on 2 June 2016:

This web report presents information on trends and issues in housing policy, housing affordability and housing assistance provided to populations with special needs. As housing and rental affordability declines, the need for housing assistance continues to increase, with 1.34 million recipients of Commonwealth Rental Assistance and around 395,000 households living in social housing. Of those households who were recently provided assistance through social housing, the majority were identified as either homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Gatwick Closure

The Gatwick Hotel has been for sale for a number of years. On 6 March, the current owners of the Gatwick Hotel announced their decision to close the Hotel. All current residents were advised of this by letter on 8 March 2017.

Following the announcement of the sale of the property, all residents have now been issued with Notices to Vacate within 60 days.

The owners have advised local services that they are no longer accepting any referrals. Can you please also advise relevant staff in your organisation of the Gatwick Hotel's closure. If there are other service providers in your network that make referrals to the Gatwick Hotel can you also pass on this advice to them as well.
