Definition
The purpose of the Public rental housing data set specification is to describe information about tenants in public rental housing covered by the National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA). Included are households residing in public rental housing dwellings where the dwelling is either:
- owned by the housing authority; or
- leased from the private sector or other housing program areas and used for provision of public rental housing.
Public rental housing dwellings leased to other program areas such as community housing or crisis and emergency accommodation programs are not included in this collection.
Dwellings no longer under the administration of the property manager/agency at June 30th 2011, (including dwellings demolished, sold or disposed of) and dwellings not yet available to the property manager/agency at June 30th 2011, (such as those still under construction or being purchased) are excluded.
In the 2010-11 collection the following changes have been made to the data set specification:
- In the Dwelling history file: the data items VACRSN, VADCESC and VACTYPE have been retired and replaced by a new variable VAC_DDV which is populated with a standard set of vacancy reason codes.
- In the Person income file: the data items INC_TYPE and INC_DESC have been retired.
