Western Victoria Region

Sarah MANSFIELD (Western Victoria) (12:46): (1747) My question is for the Minister for Housing and Building. Last week was Homelessness Week, and constituents brought to my attention that there were 260 households on the priority housing list in Colac Otway shire at the end of March. Meanwhile, local housing support agencies have reported an increase in the number of people seeking support. These households on the priority list are in urgent need of support because they are already homeless or are in critical need of support due to factors such as family violence. Minister, how long will these households remain on the priority waiting list?
