MRS MENKENS ASKED THE MINISTER FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES AND HOUSING AND MINISTER FOR WOMEN (MS STRUTHERS)— Will the Minister provide a list of non-government organisations that receive funding to assist with homelessness and people at risk of homelessness (separated by region, and listing the amounts of funding in the previous 12 months)?

ANSWER: The Department of Communities delivers specialist homelessness services through a variety of service delivery models, including crisis/short-term accommodation and support, medium/long-term accommodation and support, day support, outreach support, information and referral services, agency support, and service delivery models, which involve a combination of these approaches. In line with requirements from the Australian Government, specialist homelessness services are provided to the following target groups: • young people • single men • single women • families • women and children escaping domestic violence.

Table 1: Funded Non-Government Organisations Delivering Specialist Homelessness Services Across Queensland 2008–2009 provides a list of non-government organisations in receipt of funding from the Queensland Government to deliver specialist homelessness services.
