Social housing

Social housing provides safe, secure, and sustainable homes to some of the most vulnerable people in Queensland, and also includes ‘public’ or ‘community’ housing.

• Public housing is long-term housing managed by the Queensland Government.
• Community housing is managed by non-government or community organisations, or local governments.
• Social housing is for eligible people who are in the highest need of housing assistance.

The Queensland Government provides a range of support to those wanting to apply for social housing or to get into the private rental market, including bond loans, rental grants and a RentConnect service.

Anyone who needs housing assistance can contact their local Housing Service Centre during business hours or call the 24/7 Homeless Hotline on 1800 474 753.
