The Department of Housing and Public Works is a Queensland government department in the Government Administration sector, with 1,001 to 5,000 employees, located at 1 William Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia, and its website is https://housing.qld.gov.au. It focuses on improving the lives of Queenslanders by creating pathways to safe, secure, and affordable housing, providing housing assistance through government-owned and -managed social housing and funding for community and local government-managed social housing providers. It also funds organizations that assist people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The social housing system aims to ensure people in need receive appropriate housing and are supported by pathways that build and sustain independence, with priorities including improving housing affordability, reducing homelessness, and helping Queenslanders access the private housing market. In May 2024, the department announced the Homes for Queenslanders plan to bolster its social housing program, including a goal of delivering 53,500 more social homes by 2046, with reported revenue in the range of $50 million to $100 million.
