Specifications for funding for housing and homelessness peak and industry bodies

The Queensland Government partners with peak and industry bodies to fund activities to strengthen the housing and homelessness sector.

To receive funding your organisation must comply with the Housing and homelessness peak and industry bodies specifications (PDF, 1.2MB).

The specifications provide information on:

• the streams of activities we will fund in service agreements and funding schedules
• service user groups
• performance evaluation measures
• reporting requirements.

The specifications form part of your agreement to work with us together with individual contracts and work plans.

We will continue to review and update the specifications to ensure they remain contemporary and fit for purpose.
