Future directions for social housing

The new strategic direction for social housing in Queensland will reshape the social housing system and provide a platform for community housing providers to play a greatly expanded role in the delivery of housing assistance.

The key elements of the reform agenda are:

  • Introduction of the National Regulatory System for community housing providers
  • Reform of program and funding settings to cut red tape and shift to a purchaser-provider model
  • Realignment of the Department's service delivery functions and roles to support the new approach.

These reforms rely on a partnerships approach with providers operating as part of a well regulated, robust and viable social housing industry.
