People in Townsville who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless are able to access vital support through the Townsville Homelessness Hub, which was officially opened today by Communities Minister Tracy Davis.
Ms Davis said the hub provided a one-stop-shop approach to link people with the local services they need.
“The Newman Government is providing the Australian Red Cross with more than $579,000 each year for three years to run the hub,” Ms Davis said.
“It will provide homeless people with information, advice and access to specialist homeless and housing services.
