This bulletin provides an overview of assistance given to people with a disability by the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP), the major response by the Australian Government and state and territory governments to resolve and prevent homelessness. In this report the SAAP 'disability' client group is compared to the 'non-disability' client group to examine their characteristics and needs and the ability of SAAP to support homeless people with disabilities.
