Relief for low-income households thanks to State Govt rental trial

17 July 2017


"A TRIAL of a State Government initiative has helped more than 200 low-income households move into private rental homes.

Housing Minister Peter Tinley visited Butler today to promote the Assisted Rental Pathways Pilot(ARPP), which helped more than 200 social housing applicants and tenants by June 30.

The pilot is a partnership with private landlords as well as the community sector to tailor assistance and discounts on private rentals for up to four years."

The Department of Communities has been delivering the program in partnership with Centrecare, Multi-Cultural Services WA, Outcare and the Salvation Army.

Mr Tinley said the Government was working hard with community and private sectors to offer a range of affordable housing options."
