Homelessness
The Queensland Housing Strategy will improve the pathways from homelessness to safe, secure and affordable housing.
The Queensland Housing Strategy will improve pathways to enable people to move from homelessness to safe, secure and affordable housing, as well as supporting increased economic participation and social inclusion.
Pathways out of homelessness will take a person-centred approach, enabling the right support to be delivered and helping to address housing stability while delivering better outcomes for Queenslanders.
Our approach is about supporting the delivery of innovative solutions that address immediate needs, assisting people experiencing homelessness to live with dignity, and building on existing investment in homelessness services, crisis accommodation and longer term supportive housing.
