Funding to CHPs to facilitate head leases and provide tenancy management is being rolled out in a staged process. The Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy will form a contract with a suitable CHP to undertake this work in Moreton Bay, facilitating approximately 8 head leases for up to 18 months. It is anticipated head leases will be in place by 31 December 2020.
It is expected the new mobile support provider will take on a primary support role for most women and their children housed through the initiative.
