The Community Housing Mapping Project data collection 1998 is based on a mail-out survey of community housing providers and administrative data supplied by State housing authorities and comprises the first national collection on community housing organisations.

The collection sought to collect data on the key aspects of community housing covering:

  • Size and purpose of stock
  • Differences across target groups
  • Information an assets
  • Accessibility of stock
  • Appropriateness
  • Funding sources
  • Ownership
  • Demand
  • Affordability Tenant outcomes.

The report analysing data from the collection underpins the contemporary Community Housing (CH) data collection. The data collection was conducted during the period August 1998 to February 1999 across all States and Territories. It collected information from 944 community housing providers. Where possible data were reported as at 30 June 1998.
