Homelessness prevention

Homelessness can affect anyone—from single young people to families with children.

A staggering 20,000 people in Queensland are experiencing homelessness—this is 1 in every 200 Queenslanders (source, Australian Bureau of Statistics).

It can mean people who are sleeping rough, as well as people who are staying in temporary, unstable or substandard accommodation.

The reasons for homelessness are varied and complex—including mental illness, domestic violence, relationship breakdowns, debt, substance abuse, housing affordability.

We fund over 100 non-government organisations to deliver more than 200 specialist homelessness services to help.
