QYHC Project - A Short History of the Queensland Youth Homelessness and Housing Sector

The Queensland Youth Housing Coalition Inc is writing a brief history of the youth housing/homelessness sector and would welcome your input. The aim of the project is to develop a written history of the youth housing/homelessness sector in Queensland to ensure that the valuable contribution made by you and others is documented and recognised. It is anticipated that the final product will be in book form with historical data, anecdotes and photos. To this end we are requesting your assistance in providing stories, photos or any other materials ie poster, postcards, campaign materials that you may have to share that we can include. All material will be acknowledged and stories attributed to the author/s.
