Homelessness Week

HOMELESSNESS WEEK MATTERS

Youth Link has been privileged over many years to be part of the National Homelessness Matters Week, in collaboration with other Specialist Housing Support Services across the Cairns Region.

THEME

Share the journey "Cardboard Stories from Homelessness to Housed and Personal Well Being".

Youth Link has played an enormous part in encouraging young people to share their stories about their lived experience from homelessness to housed. The Cardboard stories were displayed for National Homelessness Week 2020 to raise awareness around Australia's Homelessness Matters.

Same House Different Landlord

Same House, Different Landlord Under the Same House Different Landlord program, the Queensland Government leases public housing properties to community organisations (providers), which rent the properties to tenants who need support to establish and manage a tenancy. The tenancy and the property are transferred back to the government once the tenant can manage a longer-term tenancy, and they then become a public housing tenant without needing to move.
