Supportive Housing & Afforable Housing at BCG
Common Ground Queensland’s Supportive and Affordable Housing Program provides long-term, safe housing intentionally linked with dedicated and tailored support services. Housing opportunities are offered in accordance with the eligibility criteria set out by the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works.
Supportive Housing
Supportive housing is designed to help end the cycle of homelessness for individuals and families who experience vulnerabilities across Queensland. It provides a long-term alternative to rough sleeping, couch surfing and crisis accommodation.

- Queensland resident

- Has experienced chronic homelessness for more than two years
- Currently listed on the Department of Housing Register

Common Ground Queensland also provides affordable housing at Brisbane Common Ground to eligible tenants in line with Department of Housing requirements. Rent for affordable housing tenants is set at 75% of the market rental value.
The combination of affordable and supportive housing creates a diverse community environment and promotes social inclusion and community connection.
Affordable housing may only be offered to individuals who meet all of the following eligibility criteria:
- Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
- Queensland resident

Important Notice
Brisbane Common Ground no longer accepts direct referrals or applications for Supportive and Affordable Housing.
Brisbane Common Ground is strongly committed to a coordinated, sector-wide approach to ending homelessness and continues to work closely with partner organisations to ensure housing opportunities are allocated fairly, appropriately and effectively.
As part of our commitment to a fair, transparent and coordinated housing allocation process, all tenancies are now allocated through partner organisations based on the eligibility criteria identified for each vacancy.
Housing Intake Process
This updated process supports a coordinated and transparent referral pathway across Brisbane’s housing and homelessness services network and aligns with the Brisbane Zero strategy – a collaborative, sector-wide initiative aimed at ending homelessness.
How the Process works:
- When a vacancy becomes available, Brisbane Common Ground notifies the Brisbane Zero team and provides the vacancy details and eligibility criteria.
- Brisbane Zero engages with partner organisations through coordination and strategy meetings to identify suitable candidates from the By-Name List.
- Once referrals are received, Brisbane Common Ground reviews and assesses all referrals before making the final housing allocation decision.
- Applicants and support services can contact Brisbane Common Ground for further information or speak directly with one of the partner organisations listed below.
