Sitting in the waiting room: Do people experiencing homelessness underutilize health services
Homeless persons tend to have poorer health than the broader population, and thus have a greater need for health services. However, due to resource constraints impeding access to health care, and the chaotic nature of living as a homeless person, this most disadvantaged group may face greater difficulties accessing health services. We use an Australian panel survey, Journeys Home, to contrast health service use by people experiencing homelessness…
What are the impacts of living in social housing? New evidence from Australia
In this paper, we apply statistical matching methods to a national longitudinal dataset of Australians facing housing insecurity to estimate the impacts of social housing on employment, education, health, incarceration and homelessness. We find social housing in Australia provides an important `safety net’ protecting people from homelessness. However, at least in the short run, individuals in social housing have similar outcomes in terms of emplo…
How do housing and labour markets affect individual homelessness
We examine the impact of housing and labour market conditions on individual risks of homelessness. Our innovation is a focus on homelessness entries, although findings from jointly estimated homelessness entry and exit probit equations are reported. Risky behaviours and life experiences such as regular use of drugs, the experience of violence and biographies of acute disadvantage lead to a higher risk of becoming homeless. Public housing is a str…
Psychological distress and homeless duration
We examine whether psychological distress levels vary with homeless and housed duration. We do this using longitudinal data from a national survey of persons facing housing insecurity that, unlike prior studies, is not restricted to those who are currently homeless (or to particular subsets of the homeless), but instead follows a nationally representative sample of Australians experiencing housing insecurity. This allows us to use methods that is…
A journey home: What drives how long people are homeless
Understanding lifetime homeless duration: Investigating wave 1 findings from the Journeys Home project
The variation in the amount of time people remain homeless has important policy implications with respect to reducing long‐term homelessness and designing more effective early intervention approaches. This paper examines the factors that influence lifetime homeless duration in Australia using data from the first wave of Journeys Home, a new national survey of individuals exposed to high levels of housing insecurity that employs more rigorous samp…
Intensity and persistence of individuals' social exclusion in Australia
We construct a measure of social exclusion that recognises its multidimensionality at the individual level, including its potential variability in intensity at a point in time and in persistence over time. We distinguish seven dimensions or domains of social exclusion: material resources; employment; education and skills; health and disability; social; community; and personal safety. For each of these seven domains, several indicators of social e…
