Homelessness can affect anyone of any age and can be temporary or long term. A safe and secure home is a fundamental need. We recognise the critical issue of affordable housing in our city and support coordinated efforts to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring.
In all interactions with people experiencing homelessness, we will ensure the person’s human rights are given proper consideration.

We have joined the Gold Coast Homelessness Network to progress the Gold Coast Zero Campaign. This campaign is a community-based effort to build public support for ending homelessness. It also calls for renewed Federal and State investment in housing, support services and healthcare. To find out more, visit the Gold Coast Zero Campaign website
We support the Connect2Home | Homeless Connect event every year. To find out how to donate items or volunteer, follow the Gold Coast Homeless Connect Facebook page.
Are you concerned about the welfare of someone experiencing homelessness? If the person is an immediate risk to themselves or others, or appears to be under the age of 18, please call Queensland Police Services on Triple Zero. To report non-urgent crimes, visit the Policelink website.
