"The Federal and State Governments have entered into a new partnership to tackle homelessness and will invest more than $200 million over four years to help people who are living rough. Housing Minister Karen Struthers outlined a range of initiatives that Queensland would deliver through the extra funding. “This new partnership couldn’t have come at a better time. A number of people are doing it tough right now. We know what they’re going through and we want to do whatever we can to put a roof over their head and help them get their life back on track,” Ms Struthers said. “We also want to work with the Federal Government to help them meet their target to reduce overall homelessness by 50% by 2020,” she said."
