Achieving our goals and outputs
The department continued to improve access to safe, secure, affordable and appropriate housing for Queenslanders in need, and worked with partners to deliver sustainable solutions addressing local community issues.
Performance summary
Key performance measures from the Strategic Plan 2008-2013.
Goal: Delivering integrated social housing and housing services to low–income households for the duration of their need
Social housing refers to housing funded or subsidised by the department to assist households who were unable to access or retain affordable or appropriate housing in the private housing market.
Goal: Providing support for low–to–moderate income households in the private market
The department assists low–to–moderate income households to access and sustain private rental accommodation and home ownership.
Goal: Helping build sustainable communities
In addition to the activity that occurs under the previous two goals, which also contribute to this goal, the department helps to build sustainable communities.
Future direction
With the abolishment of the Department of Housing on 26 March 2009 as a result of machinery-of-Government changes, the core functions of the former department have transitioned to the Department of Communities.
