Community Rent Scheme evaluation
AHURI in partnership with Q Shelter – the peak body for housing and homelessness in Queensland – was commissioned by the Queensland government to evaluate the performance of the Community Rent Scheme (CRS). The CRS is a significant source of transitional housing in Queensland. Under the scheme, head-leased properties augment the state’s social housing supply, enabling locally sensitive responses, and offering flexibility in the location and profile of housing depending on assessed household need.
