Comments

Comments:

The definition of 'homeless' used here for the priority access national standard is different to the SAAP Homeless definition.

It should be noted that as housing assistance allocation practices vary across:

  • states and territories within a collection
  • across data collections within states and territories

caution should be used when interpreting information and/or making comparisons in relation to this metadata item.
