People experiencing homelessness or situations placing them at risk of homelessness can receive assistance from specialist homelessness services (SHS). The National Housing and Homelessness Agreement (NHHA) aims to improve access to safe, affordable and sustainable housing, prevent and deal with homelessness, and support social and economic participation.
The indicators presented here are 2 of the agreed national performance indicators set out in the agreement: Indicator (h), a decrease in the number of people that experience repeat homelessness; and Indicator (i), an increase in the proportion of people who are at risk of homelessness that receive assistance to avoid homelessness. These indicators are used to report progress against the objectives and outcomes of the NHHA.
Note that the data cannot be interpreted as an estimate of prevalence of homelessness or population-level need for specialist homelessness services because interpretation of trends based on 4 observations may not be statistically robust. In addition, be cautious comparing indicators among states and territories - they may use different models of support delivered through the SHS system. Also, NHHA client cohort groups are not mutually exclusive and SHS clients may be included in more than one cohort group.
