TENS of thousands of Queenslanders will continue to be able to access tenancy advice services because of the federal government's announcement today to provide emergency funding for these services to 30 June next year.
"We are very excited about this funding announcement today.
The $3.3 million will provide relief for Queenslanders needing to access the services provided by Queensland Tenant Advice and Advocacy Service and will help keep people in their rental properties, preventing increases in homelessness and increasing demand on the public housing system," says Queensland Council of Social Service CEO Mark Henley.
"We look forward to working with both the state and federal governments to ensure the longevity of this program to maintain needed tenancy advice and support."
For more than 50 years QCOSS has worked throughout Queensland to eliminate poverty and inequality. QCOSS is an independent non-government organisation representing close to 600 organisations and individuals throughout Queensland.
