Data element attributes

Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:Help on this term

This data element allows a calculation of the length of time a person has experienced homelessness.

A permanent place to live is defined as a conventional dwelling, typically with its own residential address. It refers to a person's usual residence that lasts for at least 3 months. The characteristics of the accommodation must be such, that it is considered outside the scope of the definition of homelessness.

Ascertaining that a person did at some time have a permanent place to live indicates that their experience of homelessness commenced subsequently. Thus the length of the period of homelessness is measured from that time.

Collection methods:Help on this term

The permissible values for this data element are used to form the response categories to the question:

"How long is it since you had a permanent place to live?"
