Micah Projects

Who we work with 

We assist individuals and families who are currently experiencing homelessness or are at risk of experiencing homelessness. We can provide information and advice which may assist you to resolve the issue. We provide information and advice to everyone who contacts us, whether they are the person in crisis or someone assisting them. 

What we do 

Micah Projects does not have housing stock of its own to provide to people experiencing homelessness, and does not operate a shelter or emergency accommodation service.  

We do however have extensive knowledge about the services and support available, both from our organisation and from others, and we can refer you to the most appropriate team or partner organisation (the people most likely to be able to assist you soonest). There is a range of services operated by Micah Projects designed to help prevent and address homelessness.

This includes the provision of direct support to complete housing application forms, including requests for emergency housing or social and community housing. We work closely with the Department of Housing, and can assist you to prepare applications for additional support such as rental bond loans.

Micah Projects is part of Inclusive Health Partnerships that adopt a Housing First approach to inform the integration of nursing services into the Home for Good teams. 

Key service providers with whom Micah Projects have a collaborative partnership, and who we may refer people to include:

• Department of Housing and Public Works
• Centrelink
• Tenants Queensland
• Queensland Public Interest Law Clearing House
• Common Ground Queensland.

While our staff can refer individuals and families in need to the most appropriate people for support services (within Micah Projects or externally), our team can act as the as a primary contact point, liaise with partners to help people stay on track towards safe and affordable long-term housing.

As with all Micah Projects’ services devoted to maintaining successful tenancies Coordinated Access adopts a holistic, evidence-based approach that recognises that issues related to housing, health, social isolation, employment, education and income are all interconnected, and that solutions to these challenges require an integrated approach.
