The Australian and Queensland Governments are providing $284.6 million over five years (2008-09 to 2012-13) to reduce homelessness in Queensland, as part of the National Partnership Agreement (NPA) on Homelessness.
The Australian and Queensland Governments have agreed on a whole-of-government Implementation Plan to deliver significant reforms to reduce homelessness, in partnership with the community services sector.
A Homelessness National Partnership Agreement Implementation Plan has been developed to enhance existing and ongoing funding by the Australian and Queensland Governments to reduce homelessness in Queensland, and will be supported by measures to increase the supply of affordable housing through the National Affordable Housing Agreement, and National Partnerships Agreements on Social Housing, Remote Indigenous Housing and the Nation Building and Jobs Plan.
Investment for new and expanded services and reform activities is planned to improve the capacity of the community services sector in delivering customised support to people who are homeless to make the transition to stable accommodation.
