Crisis Accommodation - Adults and Families
Crisis Accommodation Program (CAP)
CAP provides short-term supported accommodation to adults and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to assist them to move to independent living. inCommunity has 10 houses in this program. Case managers provide practical , hands on support to address any barriers tenants may have including lack of rental history, housing affordability, lack of essential household items or daily living skills.
Young people can self-refer for our crisis accommodation or be referred by any agency who has access to the Queensland Homelessness Information Platform (QHIP). QHIP is an electronic tool that facilitates access to vacancy and capacity information of specialist homelessness services across Queensland. QHIP allows organisations to undertake electronic assessment and referral to any specialist homelessness service.
If you are thinking of referring a friend or family member, we recommend you pass our contact details onto the young person so they can contact us, as referral can only take place with the consent of the young person. Family members and friends are welcome to contact us for general information.
