1 déc. 2000 - Allocation System for State Housing - starts

Description:

Applicants for state housing were required to meet a number of eligibility requirements, including residency status, income, assets and housing needs. Applicants were assessed on:
• the affordability of their current housing;
• the adequacy of their current housing;
• the suitability of their current housing (house size and overcrowding for example);
• their ability to access housing; and
• their ability to sustain housing.
Applicants were segmented on the waiting list according to the following categories that reflected their housing need:
Category A – At Risk: Households with immediate serious housing need (ie current circumstances create an immediate risk to health and safety of household member(s) and they are unable to function within the housing market);
Category B – Serious Housing Need: Households with a serious housing need (ie current circumstances affect the health and safety of household members in a significant and negative way and they are unable to function within the housing market);
Category C – Disadvantage: Low-income households experiencing low-level housing need (ie current housing circumstances disadvantage household member(s) and this will be compounded over time if this need is not addressed, and they are unable to function within the housing market);and
Category D – No Housing Need or Disadvantage, and or are able to function in the housing market (ie low-income households experiencing low level housing need for whom there are other housing options and/or low-income households not experiencing housing need).
