Sustaining Tenancies

About

Sustaining Tenancies supports people who have a place to stay to maintain their accommodation and avoid entering homelessness.
The program provides both early intervention and post crisis support.

  • Early intervention support is provided to a person who has a tenancy and there are factors putting the tenancy at risk
  • Post crisis support is provided to people who have a tenancy after an episode of homelessness. The support is to help the person sustain the new tenancy and prevent a return to homelessness.

 

Eligibility

1. People who have a tenancy (an agreement to reside at a place) but this is at risk.

2. People who have been homeless but have a new tenancy.

The program has a target around young people but is open to support people of all ages throughout the South Burnett region.

 

Benefits

People receive individual support to develop an individual plan. Staff work alongside them to achieve this plan. Brokerage may be accessed where required and in line with the plan.

While each plan is individualised, some of the typical inclusions are:

  • Tenancy skills training
  • Budgeting
  • Accessing income support
  • Conflict resolution
  • Legal information
  • Addressing rent arrears or breaches
  • Referrals to specialised services
