Queensland Government responses to homelessness

Homelessness affects Queenslanders from all social and economic groups in the community—from single young people to families with children. People who are affected by homelessness can become disconnected from society, impacting on the whole community.

The Queensland Government's Responding to Homelessness Strategy focuses on building existing initiatives and establishing new and innovative strategies to help homeless people in Queensland.

The Government's goal is to ensure homeless people have access to accommodation and an integrated service system, which will lead to opportunities to re-engage with the community, to live a stable life, and to build a better future.
