An objective and comprehensive assessment of a person's or family's need is an essential first step in establishing a modern system of housing supports. The document Housing Policy Framework Building Sustainable Communities contains a commitment to develop new means of assessing housing need. Further details on the new arrangements will be announced later in the year.
