One social housing system resources for community and local government-managed housing providers
In response to increasing demand for social housing assistance, the Queensland Government is working with community and local government-managed housing providers to implement important changes through one social housing system. This system is a better and fairer way for people to access housing assistance, for the time that it is needed.
Implementation of one social housing system includes:
- common eligibility criteria for social housing assistance
- one application form for long-term social housing and one combined waitlist
- streamlined allocation policies for matching clients to vacancies
- the provision of social housing assistance for those with the greatest need, for as long as it is needed.
These changes are being progressively rolled out across the housing programs and services delivered by registered providers. To assist community and local government-managed housing providers to effectively implement one social housing system, the department has developed a range of resources, including policies and procedures, information sheets and forms.
Further information on the requirements for the delivery of services by funded providers is available from your Regional Services Officer in Funded Organisational Services, Community and Public Housing, Department of Housing.
