Our Mission, Vision and Values

Vision

HQ works with its members both government and non-government to prevent and reduce homelessness across Queensland.

HQ represents and promotes the important work and interests of its members across the Specialist Homelessness Sector (SHS) with a view to bettering outcomes. It also indirectly assists homeless persons through the provision of information and improving overall outcomes through its members.

Values

We value openness, honesty, transparency, integrity and accountability and we work tirelessly on behalf of our members to provide support, advocacy, training and networking/collaboration opportunities.

Objectives

HQ’s objectives are clear and measurable:

1. Provide advocacy and support to achieve social justice on behalf of people who form its Target Group.

2. Ensure accountability, transparency and quality practice are delivered to those who are homeless.

3. Collaborate with other agencies and societies within the community whose objectives are compatible with HQ’s.

4. Assist in policy development based upon the contribution of all members.

5. Build cross-section partnerships to improve accessibility to suitable housing options.

6. Contribute to research issues of state and national importance to the sector.

Being heard is the first step
