Why do we need supportive housing? 

Right now in Redcliffe, too many people are doing it tough – sleeping rough and taking refuge in our public spaces.

Without supportive housing, these community members are left to cycle between the streets, crisis accommodation, hospitals and police cells – an expensive, unsafe and unsustainable situation that helps no one.

Supportive housing gives people the stability they need to turn their lives around, while easing pressure on frontline services. It’s a proven, cost-effective solution that keeps communities safer, stronger and more connected.

That’s why Redcliffe urgently needs its own supportive housing project – to give vulnerable locals a genuine pathway out of homelessness and back into community life.

What is supportive housing?

Supportive housing is a type of housing funded by the Queensland Government that provides security of tenure, underpinned by a tenancy agreement, as a foundation for the delivery of coordinated, wraparound supports for vulnerable people with complex needs who would otherwise be unable to sustain a tenancy and community connection.

In supportive housing, tenants benefit housing and support providers working together to sustain tenancies and achieve positive outcomes for tenants.

Support services may include, but are not limited to:

  • psychosocial supports
  • domestic and family violence supports
  • case management/case conferencing
  • advocacy
  • education and cultural supports
  • health services, including supports for those who experience severe or complex mental ill-health
  • parenting support and/or
  • employment services, training services and volunteering opportunities. 

Every Queenslander deserves a safe, secure and stable place to call home — and for some, that means more than just a roof over their head.

The Redcliffe community urgently needs supportive housing — social and affordable homes that come with the right mix of onsite or linked supports to help people with more complex needs to maintain stable housing.

Now’s the time for action. Supportive housing has been proven to reduce homelessness, ease pressure on hospitals and police, and strengthen local communities.

We’re calling on the Queensland Government to deliver a new supportive housing project in Redcliffe — so that vulnerable locals have the help they need, where they need it.
