OpenHome—Queensland's Housing Dashboard
The Queensland Government is delivering a safe, secure and affordable place to call home for more Queenslanders.
We’re unlocking housing supply by activating more land, making it easier to build and improving productivity in the construction sector. We’re strengthening our housing foundations by boosting home ownership opportunities, easing pressures in the private rental market, and providing greater support to vulnerable Queenslanders in need.
This dashboard provides a snapshot of information about the activity and performance of Queensland's housing and homelessness system and will be updated every 2 months.

Explanatory notes
Queenslanders engaged with a funded Specialist Homelessness Service
A Specialist Homelessness Service (SHS) is an agency that receives government funding to provide accommodation, accommodation related services and/or assistance and support services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Notes:
- The number for July 2025 represents data based on a snapshot taken on 11 September 2025.
- The number is not finalised, subject to change and may be different from other public data.
- A Queenslander is counted as receiving Specialist Homelessness Services when they receive a direct service from SHS agencies; they may be homeless or at risk of homelessness.
- SHS client counts change over time for many reasons and are not necessarily due to changes in the demand for homelessness services.
