housing programs

community housing options

Community housing is designed to support those with little or no income. Community housing provides low cost, income-based rental accommodation for tenants in high need who are listed on the Housing Register. Accommodation is a mix of houses, duplexes and unit blocks.

While some of these properties are rented from the private rental market by Mangrove Housing and then sub-let to eligible tenants, other properties are managed by Mangrove Housing on behalf of the Department of Housing and Public Works.

To be eligible for Community Housing, you must firstly register for assistance with the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works.
