Supporting Successful Tenancies

 

Anglicare’s work in supporting individuals and families to secure and sustain housing spans both service delivery and research. Our Homestay team in Toowoomba are dedicated to ensuring stable housing for those who are doing it tough by helping people secure immediate housing, but also sustain their tenancies for the longer term.

Our Supporting Successful Tenancies research project had a similar focus, aiming to help increase the availability and sustainability of private sector rental accommodation for people with complex needs.​

The project was a collaboration with QShelter, the Tenancy Skills Institutre, Tenants Queensland, Compass Housing and the National Affordable Housing Consortium (HAHC), and had the support of the Redland City Council.

The project was complemented by a research project carried out by a team of then University of Queensland Bachelor of Social Science students: Andrea Shabrokh, Daniel Hullick, Danielle Hugman and Mikaela Kerwin.

Their final report, Exploring The Interplay Between The Private Rental Sector and Complex Tenancies, discusses the findings from in-depth interviews with 12 Brisbane property managers regarding the challenges and barriers they face in sustaining complex tenancies.
