Clients transitioning to new providers had their records closed and subsequently reopened with their new provider following appropriate client consent processes.
Further detailed reporting regarding the number of rough sleepers in Adelaide, including notes regarding data impacts as a result of the transition to the alliance model, is available from the South Australian Alliance to End Homelessness website at saaeh.org.au/progress-dashboard.
