Definition: | Homeless, for the purpose of the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement (CSHA) priority access national standard, is defined as a household with no housing or a household residing in temporary or emergency accommodation at the time of housing allocation. It includes households who:

Context: | The CSHA priority access national standard identifies applicants who at the time of allocation were homeless or who did not have access to safe, secure and affordable housing. The definition of 'homeless' used in this standard is narrow and focuses on persons who experienced primary and secondary homelessness (excluding people residing in boarding houses) according to the definitions developed by Chamberlain. The CSHA priority access national standard draws a distinction between the 'homeless' category and the categories which address the safety, security and affordability of housing. It would therefore have been inappropriate to use the SAAP Homeless definition, as it is a broader concept and is inclusive of persons who did not have access to safe, secure and adequate housing. |

Definition: | A group of two or more related or unrelated people who usually reside in the same dwelling, and who make common provision for food or other essentials for living; or a single person living in a dwelling who makes provision for his or her own food and other essentials for living, without combining with any other person. |

Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | For housing data collections, the number of tenancy agreements is a practical proxy for calculating the number of households receiving housing assistance. The persons in the group may pool their incomes and have a common budget to a greater or lesser extent: they may be related or unrelated persons, or a combination of both. Only usual residents of the household are included as members of the household. Visitors to a household are, by definition, excluded from the household. |
