Denishar's family getting free housing

The family of a WA girl, who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after an electric shock at a public housing property, is temporarily getting free housing.

The family of an 11-year-old Perth girl, who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after a severe electric shock at a public housing property, has been provided with free accommodation through to July.

Denishar Woods was shocked with up to 230 volts when she touched a garden tap at a Beldon property in March.

Denishar's mother, Lacey Harrison, told AAP on Sunday the state government had temporarily provided the family with free housing and some support services.
