FAQs
Is Bridge to Stability crisis accommodation?
Bridge to Stability is not crisis accommodation. Our neighbourhoods are designed to address the growing housing instability and homelessness crisis in Australia by providing stable, medium-term housing and structured support to people who are working to build a more secure future.
How long can residents stay?
The program is designed to support residents to transition into standard housing within approximately two years. However, we recognise that progress does not always follow a fixed timeline, and transitions will be based on individual readiness rather than an automatic end date.
Who is eligible?
Bridge to Stability is designed for low-income families who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness and who are willing and able to engage with the support framework offered through the program.
Is it social housing?
Bridge to Stability is not government-run social housing. It is a charitable housing model designed to provide affordable, medium-term housing with structured support, and it follows similar affordability principles to social and community housing.
How is rent set?
Rent is intended to be set at an affordable proportion of household income, currently proposed at 30% of household income, subject to the final policy framework and any applicable funding or regulatory requirements.
Can this model be replicated elsewhere?
Yes. Bridge to Stability neighbourhoods are being designed as a replicable model that can be adapted and delivered in communities across Australia, with the goal of supporting thousands of families over time.
