As Safe as Houses
Queensland Housing Strategy 2017 - 2027 Challenge
Background
Our vision is that every Queenslander has access to a safe, secure and affordable home that meets their needs and enables participation in the social and economic life of our prosperous state. With the growing population in Queensland, and the changes and pressures on the Queensland economy, demand for social and affordable housing is increasing both in terms of numbers and complexity.
The Challenge
To provide insights into the demand for housing in Queensland. Demand can be measured by location, need, housing sector or specific demographic or vulnerable groups.
For example:
- Identify current demand and how this might change over the next 3, 5, 7 and 10 years
- Identify needs of vulnerable Queenslanders and the type of assistance that is/may be required now and into the future
- Identify early warning signs that indicate a change in demand for Social Housing services and products in a particular location, or for particular groups of people.
Our challenge encourages use of multiple, widely and openly available datasets as long as their licensing terms permit.
User/audience/target market
State, local government, community housing providers, private enterprise and others.
