500 Homes in 5 Years

19 June 2025

Providing Queenslanders in need of a safe place to call home.
In 2021, Vinnies Queensland launched its biggest ever housing plan - to deliver 500 Homes in the next five years. Established in direct response to the ongoing housing crisis, the project aims to double Vinnies QLD's housing stock, providing new homes to those in need, and preventing Queenslanders from falling into homelessness.
With support from the State Government, so far we have secured 147 homes with constructions expected to commence in 2025. The funds raised at this year's CEO Sleepout will assist us in our efforts to secure the remaining 353 homes.
Help support Queenslanders who are losing their rentals, their homes, couch surfing, or sleeping on the streets, or in a car to have a warm, safe home. Now and into the future.
