Q Shelter has responded to the recent decision made by City of Moreton Bay council regarding people living in public spaces. In the statement, Q Shelter Acting CEO Jackson Hills said "We would hope that City of Moreton Bay has exhausted all options in working with the community services sector and housing and homelessness networks to assist with housing support challenges for people sleeping in public spaces, particularly for those with companion animals before punitive measures are being applied. "This latest development just highlights the severity of the deepening crisis we face not just now, but in the years to come, and we must work together to solve this community challenge.” You can read our statement in full on the Q Shelter website: https://bit.ly/3P3fJgF

🌍 Meeting People Where They Are 🏠🚶♂️ In social work, one of the most fundamental principles is meeting people where they are—both physically and emotionally. We can’t expect everyone to come to us for help or expect they have the physical or emotional resources to; often, the greatest impact happens when we step into their world. Whether it’s street outreach, home visits, or community-based services, meeting people in their own environment fosters trust, reduces barriers, and ensures that support is truly accessible. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about dignity, empowerment, and understanding the full picture of someone’s challenges. Every day, our team goes beyond office walls to connect with those in need—on sidewalks, in shelters, in hospitals, and in homes. This commitment to meeting people where they are is what drives meaningful change and lasting relationships. #SocialWork #CommunityEngagement #MeetingPeopleWhereTheyAre #Empowerment #SocialImpact
