New Supported Accommodation with 24/7 on-site support
We’re expanding our homelessness response by delivering 37 Supported Accommodation projects for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Who it’s for
Supported Accommodation is for vulnerable Queenslanders who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Vulnerable Queenslanders can be referred to these new services by:
- an existing Specialist Homelessness Service
- the Homeless Hotline
- a local Housing Service Centre
- directly contacting the service operating the site.
How it helps
Supported Accommodation offers a place to live with 24/7 on-site support where vulnerable Queenslanders can get back on their feet.
With housing and support in one place, residents can:
- stabilise their situation
- address the causes of homelessness
- build independence
- find their path to long-term housing.
The 24/7 on-site support is designed to meet complex needs and be culturally responsive. It includes:
- referrals to health, education, training and employment services
- practical help to build independent living skills
- help finding longer term housing
- comprehensive case management support.
