Housing support for older people
A home that makes it easier for older people to connect with family, friends and social activities brings benefits to individuals and whole communities.
Older Queenslanders need to access and sustain appropriate housing while being supported by the health and aged care services they might need to be safe and independent.
Under the Housing and Homelessness Action Plan 2021-2025 (PDF, 3466.73 KB), we will develop and deliver housing with support for older Queenslanders who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness – including specific responses for older women – by working with the aged care, health and disability sectors.
This is in addition to housing assistance we have already delivered through initiatives such as:
- developing the new Anne Street Garden Village demonstration project on the Gold Coast for older people to provide transferrable design learnings
- partnering with Churches of Christ Housing Services to deliver over 120 new homes specifically for older people in Bongaree and Little Mountain (social housing).
We will continue to grow housing options for older people.
