Each year many Australians experience homelessness or find themselves in circumstances of risk of becoming homeless. This report presents the first quarterly results of the new Specialist Homelessness Services Collection. This collection replaces the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program National Data Collection which collected data on homelessness service provision by Australian governments since 1996.
"In 2012-13 specialist homelessness services assisted over 244,000 clients. Of these clients, 54% were at risk of homelessness, and 46% were already homeless when they first began receiving support (22% of those who were homeless had no shelter or were living in an improvised dwelling). This report presents the findings of the Specialist Homelessness Services Collection for 2012-13, and describes the clients who received specialist homelessness support, the assistance they sought and were provided, and the outcomes achieved for those clients"--Website.
"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are significantly over-represented among Australia?s homeless population with 15,649 SHSC clients identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. This represented 19% of all SHSC clients, whereas it is estimated Indigenous Australians represent around 2.5% of the total Australian population (ABS 2009). Among clients who were identified as being Indigenous, 93% identified as being of Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin, 4% identified as being Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin, and 3% identified as being of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. Indigenous clients of specialist homelessness services were more likely to be female than male (62% female; 38% male). This was slightly different to the breakdown for non-Indigenous clients where 58% were female and 42% male. The Indigenous client group is relatively young compared with non-Indigenous clients; 39% of Indigenous clients were aged under 18 compared with 29% of non-Indigenous clients" [taken from page 19].
