Demand for SAAP accommodation by homeless people 2004-05: a report from the SAAP National Data Collection
Although SAAP agencies accommodate large numbers of people every day, they cannot always meet all the requests for SAAP accommodation. This bulletin summarises the demand for SAAP accommodation information contained in the 'Demand for SAAP assistance by homeless people 2004-05' report (Internet-only release), with a focus on the groups that request accommodation--individuals on their own, individuals with children, couples with children and couples without children--because these groups have different patterns of accommodation use and varying degrees of difficulty in accessing SAAP accommodation.
