The Southport Supportive Housing Project is being developed by the Queensland Government to address acute housing pressures being experienced on the Gold Coast.

The project, located at 5–9 Scarborough Street, Southport, will deliver 213 social and affordable homes for a range of people, including people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness on the Gold Coast. Residents may include people sleeping rough, women who have experienced domestic and family violence, and older women.

The new high-rise development will provide one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio apartments, with onsite support services for residents.

This supportive housing model will provide long-term, secure and appropriate homes for Queenslanders who need both a place to live and support to improve their health and wellbeing, and sustain their tenancy.

Onsite support may include psychosocial support, domestic and family violence support, employment support and more, depending on residents’ needs.

The model has been developed in consultation with the housing sector and people with lived experience of homelessness.

Mission Australia Housing, a Tier 1 Community Housing Provider, will provide property and tenancy management. UnitingCare Queensland will provide onsite support services and case management for residents.

Construction has now commenced with residents expected to move into the building in 2027.
