Registration status:	Community Services (retired), Standard 01/03/2005 Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Homelessness, Standard 23/08/2010 Housing assistance, Standard 23/08/2010
Definition:	A person is homeless if he or she does not have access to safe, secure and stable housing. Hence even if a person has a physical home, they would be considered homeless if: they were not safe at home, they had no legal right to continued occupation of their home (security of tenure), or the home lacked the amenities or resources necessary for living.
Context:	There is considerable concern over the number of homeless people in society and the assistance they require. Collecting information on homeless people is problematic, as the concept of 'homelessness' encompasses elements in addition to whether, someone resides in a dwelling or not.
