Scope:Help on this term

The Community Housing (CH) data set specification defines information about community housing organisations (CHOs), the dwellings they manage and the tenants assisted.

Community housing is rental housing provided for low to moderate income or special needs households, managed by community-based organisations that have received capital or recurrent subsidy from government. Community housing models vary across jurisdictions, and the housing stock may be owned by a variety of groups including government.

Community housing includes all tenancy (rental) units under management of a community housing organisation (excluding Indigenous community housing organisations).

The CH data set specification excludes dwellings:

  • managed under:
    • public rental housing
    • state/territory owned and managed Indigenous housing (SOMIH)
    • the Crisis Accommodation Program.
  • no longer under the administration of the CHO at 30 June of the reference year (including dwellings demolished, sold or otherwise disposed of); and
  • not yet available to the CHO at 30 June of the reference year (including those still under construction or being purchased).
