SAAP National data collection reports

Each year the AIHW produces reports on the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP).

The SAAP National Data Collection annual reports provide information on people who received support from SAAP agencies. These reports include information on:

  • The number of clients supported by the program each year
  • The demographic characteristics of SAAP clients
  • The type of support required by SAAP clients and the extent to which support was provided
  • The circumstances of SAAP clients before and after support.

Also produced each year is the Demand for SAAP accommodation by homeless people report. This report looks at the demand for SAAP accommodation and the ability of agencies to meet this demand. Since 2003 the AIHW has produced both a report and a bulletin: 

  • The report contains detailed information and is only available online
  • The bulletin is shorter, containing selected data from the report, and is also available in hard copy.

The Counting the Homeless 2006 state and territory reports present breakdowns of the number of people experiencing homelessness on census night 2006. National estimates were published by the ABS in the
Counting the Homeless 2006 national report. The reports include information on:

  • Definitions and methods of adjustment used
  • Characteristics of those experiencing homelessness
  • Analysis at finer geographical levels.

The SAAP National Data Collection Agency also produces thematic reports focusing on select client groups that use SAAP services. Recent reports have focused on:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients and children
  • Clients with mental health and substance use problems
  • Children in SAAP
  • Female clients and children escaping domestic violence
  • SAAP clients with disabilities.

Demand for SAAP assistance by homeless people 2004-05

In 2004-05, 1,294 non-government, community and local government organisations were funded nationally under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP).
