| 520 | _aThere has been a disproportionate increase in the number of families who are homeless in the last few years. The Australian Homelessness Monitor, drawing on ABS and AIHW data, reports that this has been led by rising numbers made homeless due to experiencing domestic and family violence, poverty and a lack of affordable and suitable accommodation (Pawson et al. 2018). Indigenous and non-Indigenous homeless Australians are alike in that the single largest reported cause of their homelessness is domestic and family violence, with women and children most likely to seek access to homelessness services (Spinney and Zirakbash 2017). Families escaping domestic and family violence can be invisible in official homelessness service statistics, as they do not seek assistance from service providers, tending to share overcrowded housing and live temporarily with ex-partners, friends and family. Overall, they have much lower levels of problematic alcohol and drug use and mental health problems than other groups experiencing homelessness, and tend to be homeless for less time. Compounding this invisibility, there are fewer sources of national data on family homelessness than for other groups. While data on homelessness among all population groups is limited, the ABS estimates homelessness among different demographic groups, by sex, age and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status. However, the homelessness estimate derived from the census does not report on homelessness by household composition. National data on homelessness by household type is available from the Specialist Homelessness Services program (SHS) collection, which relates to people seeking assistance from services and may therefore be substantially confounded by an increase in service capacity or increased help-seeking.(From the key findings).
