Program Overview
The Cairns HomeStay Support Service (HomeStay) supports people who have a current tenancy and who are experiencing a crisis, which may place their tenancy at risk. We offer support to tenants of private, public and community housing who are at risk of being evicted from their homes. HomeStay is a free and confidential outreach service that works with people around issues that jeopardise their current tenancy. This includes support to resolve issues including rent arrears, problems with property and disputes that could threaten a tenancy such as health, job or family crises that could threaten a tenancy, and support to resolve rent arrears, property problems and disputes. We aim to empower tenants through advocacy, information, building life skills and linking people with a broad range of community supports.
