Public Housing (PH) and State Owned and Managed Indigenous Housing (SOMIH) data collection

Full description

The PH and SOMIH data collection captures information about PH and SOMIH dwellings and the tenants assisted. Public housing encompasses the publicly owned or leased dwellings funded and administered by state and territory governments. State owned and managed Indigenous housing is administered by state and territory governments and is specifically targeted to Indigenous households (a household with at least 1 Indigenous member). Currently SOMIH operates in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory. The PH and SOMIH data collection has evolved over time. Changes have occurred to the data collection scope, procedures, data items and underlying definitions and concepts.

Includes informationabout PH and SOMIH dwellings and households residing in PH and SOMIH dwellings where the dwelling is: • owned by the housing authority • leased from the private sector or other housing program areas and used for provision of PH and SOMIH programs. Excludes information about PH and SOMIH dwellings and households residing in PH and SOMIH dwellings where the dwelling is: • owned by the state/territory housing authority but leased to other program areas, such as community housing or crisis and emergency accommodation programs, • no longer under the administration of the state/territory housing authority at 30 June (including dwellings demolished, sold or disposed of), and • not yet available to the state/territory housing authority at 30 June, (for example, those under construction or being purchased).
