DSS specific information:

This item determines whether the household is assessed as being in greatest need at the time of allocation. In the Community Housing collection greatest needs households, are households who were subject to one or more of the following circumstances:

  • they were homeless; or
  • their life or safety was at risk in their accommodation; or
  • their health condition was aggravated by their housing; or
  • their housing was inappropriate to their needs; or
  • they had very high rental housing costs.

A homeless household for the greatest need definition is a household with no housing or a household residing in temporary or emergency accommodation. It includes households who:

  • lived in accommodation provided by a specialist homelessness services agency or some other form of emergency accommodation;
  • were totally without permanent shelter;
  • lived in shelter that was unlawful such as those who were forced to squat in derelict buildings; or
  • stayed temporarily with friends or relatives in the short term.

This collection uses the alternate code set “Y” = “Yes”, “N” = “No” and “U” = “Unknown”. These codes should be mapped as follows:

  • Y = 1 (“Yes”)
  • N = 2 (“No”)
  • U = 9 (“Not stated/inadequately described”).
