Abstract
The Keeping Families Together (KFT) Supportive Housing pilot project was launched in Brisbane to provide supportive housing for families experiencing multiple vulnerabilities (i.e., extremely low income, at risk of or experiencing homelessness, and at risk of or experiencing intervention by the child protection system).
Funded for an initial 12 months by the Queensland Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy, and delivered by Micah Projects and Common Ground Queensland, the pilot brought together a multidisciplinary team of experts to deliver secure and affordable housing for 20 families, along with intensive and holistic family supports.
The Evaluation Report outlines 7 key findings and 8 recommendations.
