Notes:	"The SAAP National Data Collection Agency is managed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare" --Back cover. This report analyses the economic profile of homeless people in SAAP during the period 1999-2001. Chapter 6 deals specifically with the income status of women escaping domestic violence. The collected data (from 1999-2000) of these women and their financial difficulty were analysed by age, state of support, cultural origin and identity, periods of SAAP support, and primary income support by average number of accompanying children per support period. The research showed that most women escaping domestic violence were aged between 25 and 44. Notably, women escaping domestic violence were among the SAAP clients on no income. In 3 out of 5 support periods, women escaping domestic violence were accompanied by children. On the whole, these women received welfare payments in the form of Family benefits, increasingly so per extra child. Those without children were mostly receiving some other form of welfare payment such as Newstart, Youth allowance, Abstudy, CPEP or in a quarter of cases, a Disability Support Pension.
