Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, functions of the former Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy have been transferred to other departments. Work is underway to update departments' websites.

Help to Home

Help to Home will deliver additional housing outcomes for people eligible for social housing. Through Help to Home, properties are sourced from the private market and sub-leased to registered community housing providers (RCHPs) who will deliver specialist tenancy and property management services. Property tenants will need to meet social housing eligibility criteria. In limited circumstances, properties may be managed by the local Queensland Government Housing Service Centre.

This arrangement provides certainty for property owners through a guaranteed income stream for the term of the headlease. It also allows tenants to access safe, stable accommodation while a longer-term housing solution is established. Help to Home provides an opportunity for registered community housing providers to deliver more housing outcomes in their local communities.

We have established a panel of providers to deliver social housing services from approved properties.

You can nominate your properties to lease through the Help to Home initiative. The arrangement includes 3 months rent in advance, paid quarterly while the lease is in place.

We are looking for vacant single or multi-unit dwellings, which may be new to market or not previously available through private rental. This may include properties that were previously used for commercial use, short-term, holiday or student accommodation or for a similar purpose.  We will not accept properties which have had tenancies ended in order to participate in the program.
