According to the Report on Government Services, released by the Productivity Commission, one in four clients of specialist homeless services in Queensland missed out on getting access to suitable accommodation in 2016-17.
The report suggests 43.5 per cent of low income private rental households were in rental stress in Queensland in 2015-16, meaning that they spend more than 30% of their household income on rent.
Queensland Council of Social Services chief executive Mark Henley said there was an increasing demand for domestic and family violence support, and the $1.8 billion Queensland Housing Strategy running through 2017-2027 would boost housing and homelessness support.
