How we allocate housing
We allocate housing based on need on a "first-come, first-served" basis. We will match applicants to housing that closely meets their needs and entitlements (household make-up and changes needed for people with a disability).
Our housing responsibilities
Our housing responsibilities include:
- allocating vacant housing to applicants on the Register of Need
- managing tenancies
- collecting rent (which is re-invested into housing services)
- working with other government agencies to secure funding for housing upgrades and new housing in the region.
Our Housing team helps eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people apply for housing in our communities, as well as assisting current tenants to manage their tenancies.
Building and Asset Services (BAS) - part of Queensland’s Department of Housing and Public Works - manages any repairs and maintenance.
