"Opinion" / by Nicholson, Tony. Publisher: 2006Online Access: DOWNLOAD PDF Notes: Tony Nicholson outlines the purpose of the Supported Accomodation Assistance Program (SAAP) legislation that was introduced in Spring 1994. He argues that more than a decade on, the vision for SAAP remains unfulfilled and seemingly largely forgotten by governments and service providers. A more integrated approach between employment, housing assistance and personal support services is required for the SAAP legislation to be effective in dealing with homeless jobseekers. Such an integration of services should have an emphasis on employment.Availability: Items available for reference: BSL Archives (1).

Publisher: Canberra, A.C.T. Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2010Description: PDF.Online Access: Electronic copy Notes: July 2010 Cat. no. HOU 230 This report was written by staff of the SAAP National Data Collection Agency at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The Information Services and Publishing Unit of the AIHW helped in preparing the report for publication.Summary: This report presents an overview of the expressed demand for government-funded specialist homelessness accommodation in 2008?09. It is accompanied by a summary publication Demand for government-funded specialist homelessness accommodation 2008-09: summary. Data presented in this report and its summary exclude Victorian data. In Victoria, accommodation for homeless people is also provided through the Transitional Housing Management program. As accommodation provided through transitional housing is not recorded in this report it is therefore not possible to derive turn-away rates for Victoria that are comparable with information reported in previous years, or with those reported by other states and territories. For more information on the reporting of accommodation data in Victoria in 2008?09, refer to Government-funded specialist homelessness services 2008-09 The AIHW and the Victorian Government are working to improve data recording for future reporting.Availability:
