Homelessness QLD is a collaboration of homelessness services in Queensland (QLD). It was established as South Queensland Council to Homeless Persons (SQCHP) in 1996, became an incorporated association in 1997. It was renamed the Council to Homeless Persons QLD in in late 2017, and in 2022 changed to Homelessness QLD. HQ engages with the housing and SHS sectors across QLD and represents the Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) sector as a peak body

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we all rely. 

HQ continues to advocate for the creation of safe and affordable housing, and a strong mandate on improving the experience of homelessness in Qld.

We work in collaboration with the Department of Housing, other State Government departments, peaks, and other key local and National stakeholders to ensure all organisations in the housing and homelessness sector and the clients they service are included and represented in sector planning and sector development activities.
