Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:

The waiting list population refers to applicants who are still:

residing in the state of application;
eligible for assistance; and
wishing to pursue their application.

Potential applicants still awaiting eligibility assessment are excluded.

Collection methods:

Households that were waitlist applicant type 'transfer applicant/household' and received public housing assistance for that financial year should be counted. This includes households that wish to transfer to another dwelling for reasons other than applying for assistance different from what they currently receive.

Include applicants who have been assisted by another program such as temporary or crisis accommodation while waiting for public housing assistance.

Mutual exchanges and same address transfers are excluded from the count of total number of applicant households on the waiting list.

In the public rental housing and state owned and managed Indigenous housing data collections this metadata item is measured over a financial year.
