Community Supportive Housing

Community Supportive housing offers affordable housing that is intentionally linked to dedicated, tailored support services. This program is dedicated to supporting asylum seekers and refugees living in the Brisbane area.

Community Supportive Housing

Our Community Supportive Housing program provides supportive housing for refugees and asylum seekers with the support of external community groups and support services. 

Our Community Supportive Housing program commenced with a partnership between Common Ground Queensland, Communify, and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC).

Our Story

This program began in March of 2021 in response to urgent housing and support required for a group of asylum seekers who had been medically evacuated from offshore detention and recently released from community detention in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane. 

CGQ worked with Communify and other agencies with the support of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), to provide supportive housing for these vulnerable men.
