Scope:

The cluster collects:

the type of accommodation (e.g. short term/emergency, medium term/transitional, or long term) the client was provided
the date the accommodation period commenced (record the date in the format DDMMYYYY)
the date the accommodation period ceased (record the date in the format DDMMYYYY).

Collection and usage attributes
Guide for use:	Only one type of accommodation should be recorded for each night. If a client is marked down as staying in two different types of accommodation for the same date, it will be recorded as an error. If a client crosses the whole month check box, the first of the month should be recorded as the start date, and the last valid calendar day for that month should be recorded as the end date.
