The range and types of housing have been described on a continuum, refer to Figure 1. This starts with a lack of housing, or homelessness,
and includes emergency shelters, supportive or transitional housing, social or subsidised housing, cooperative housing, then to the
broader market rental housing and home ownership. People in the first half of the continuum are broadly in need of assistance to secure
safe shelter and these forms of housing require a subsidy of some kind. It can be argued that success relies on people moving along
the housing continuum, however the reality is that many find themselves moving around in the spectrum but may not progress out of
