TI  - The Shifting Risk of Homelessness among Persons with a Disability: Insights from 
      a National Policy Intervention.

AB  - Persons with a disability are at a far higher risk of homelessness than those 
      without. The economic, social and health challenges faced by disabled people are 
      addressed, in Australia, by the recently implemented National Disability 
      Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Using nationally representative, longitudinal household 
      panel data, we construct the Index of Relative Homelessness Risk (IRHR) to track 
      how the risk of homelessness for disabled persons has changed since the 
      introduction of the NDIS. We find that, overall, fewer persons with a disability 
      face moderate risk of homelessness but that many more face high risk. We conclude 
      that the NDIS has not effectively protected disabled people from the risk of 
      homelessness. We reflect on the implications of these findings for policy 
      interventions.
