"A NSW Far South Coast group that has provided 65 caravans to people made homeless by the Black Summer bushfires says its resources are being overwhelmed by demand for housing in the region.
The Social Justice Advocates of the Sapphire Coast (SJASC) says there is an urgent need for both transitional and sustainable long-term social housing in Bega Valley Shire, with many people in danger of being left behind as the government and community turns its attention to COVID-19 related issues.
“The situation was dire in late-2019 and was then made far worse by the Black Summer bushfires,” said SJASC chairperson Mick Brosnan. “Government assistance, while appreciated, is often hampered by procedure and slow to arrive, and the situation remains desperate.”
He said agencies in neighbouring Eurobodalla Shire are expressing identical concerns."
