1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends Output Expenses The stable trend for the Departmental Output Expense relates to Administering the Legacy Social Housing Fund appropriation. Benefits or Related Expenses Annual expenditure decreased in line with the number of recipients from $1,177 million in 2012/13 to $1,129 million in 2014/15. In the following year, the number of recipients was flat and expenditure rose to $1,164 million. Annual expenditure is expected to increase from $1,129 million in to $1,515 million in 2020/21. Expenditure on Accommodation Assistance is expected to rise from April 2018 because of the impact of the Family Incomes Package. The number of recipients receiving Accommodation Assistance typically follows the trends of main benefits (Jobseeker Support, Sole Parent Support and Supported Living Payment). The number of recipients peaked during 2010/11 at an average of nearly 320,000 and is expected to be around 290,000 in. Over the next four years to 2020/21, numbers are expected to rise to nearly 298,000 in 2018/19 and then drop to nearly 294,000 in 2020/21. The average amount of Accommodation Assistance paid per recipient increased slightly between 2012/13 and, and is expected to increase significantly after from the impact of the Family Incomes Package. Other Expenses The increasing trend for Other Expenses is due to the transfer of $3 million from to to the appropriation Social Housing Provider Development. The transfer is from Vote Building and Housing and was due to delays in the building process, resulting in several associated grant payments now occurring in. Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure The increasing trend for the Multi-Category Output Expenses is mainly due to an increase in actual and forecast expenditure on the non-departmental output expense category, Part Payment of Rent to Social Housing Providers, much of which is demand driven expenditure, which is influenced by the levels of recipient numbers and subsidies paid per person.
