Another state wide announcement but includes the regions is $9.2 million for Strong Spirit Strong Mind program which aims to improve the social and emotional well-being of young Aboriginal people and the provision of alcohol and other drugs education.

Despite there being no immediate fix to the housing crisis throughout the state, the government has boosted the homelessness sector with $2.1 billion.

It is unknown about the locations that will benefit from the funding, including the $750 million into the Social Housing Investment Fund to increase the state's social housing stock.

Bunbury's suburb of Withers will receive $5 million towards renewing its ageing social housing precinct.

Bunbury MLA and minister for disability, fisheries, seniors and ageing Don Punch said there was not an instant fix homelessness would continue to be an issue for a little while.

"But we are on a trajectory where it will improve," he said.

Vasse MLA Libby Mettam has continuously pressed the government about the amount of empty social houses in her electorate.

Minister Punch said there was provision in the budget to refurbish some of its social housing stock.

"Some of the stock is badly damaged," he said.

South West MLC Jackie Jarvis said she was excited about the amount of investment being made into education and training.

"The redevelopment of classrooms into STEM classrooms at Busselton Senior High School and Cape Naturaliste College will prepare students for the jobs of WA's future," she said.

"I'm excited about the $19.2 million VET career taster program for year 9 students as this will enable our local students to explore what further training opportunities are available to them."
