Indigenous community housing (ICH) for the purpose of this collection includes dwellings:

  • managed by Indigenous Community Housing Organisations (ICHO) who received funding both in the current and/or previous financial years; and
  • targeted to Indigenous people.

A principle of the ICHO must be to provide medium- to long-term housing tenure to tenants.

  • mainstream community housing (i.e. not managed by an ICHO)
  • public rental housing
  • state owned and managed Indigenous housing (SOMIH)
  • the Crisis Accommodation Program (CAP).

-Indigenous community housing dwelling occupancy status cluster

DSS specific information:

The current standards for dwelling occupancy and tenantability status have been added to this data set, to align the Indigenous community housing collection with other housing collections.

An alternative code set is used by the collection, which accounts for most values in the standard items. The alternative codeset and mapping is as follows:

 

ICH label and valueMETeOR standard label and value
1 = Occupied1 = Yes (Occupied) [Occupancy standard]
2 = Untentantable2 = No (Untenantable) [Tenantability standard]
0 = Unoccupied2 = No (Not Occupied) [Occupancy standard]
N/A1 = Yes (Tenantable) [Tenantability standard]
U = Unknown9 = Not stated/Inadequately described [Occupancy and Tenantability standards]

The Indigenous community housing code set excludes the collection of dwellings which are 'tenantable'. Dwellings identified as unoccupied according to the the ICH data manual, should by default be considered tenantable. Dwellings identified as occupied according to the the ICH data manual, may or may not be considered tenantable.

DSS specific information:

In community housing data collections the identifier should be reported by each community housing provider in conjunction with data collected as part of their reporting requirements each financial year.
