Beenleigh Supported Accommodation Service (BSAS)

is managed by

Beenleigh District Community Development Assoc. Inc (BDCDA Inc)

 

Under our Service Plan with the Department of Communities, BSAS accepts families and dual diagnosis clients (Mental health issues together with intellectual, alcohol and other drug issues) into its Supported Housing Service.

 

Our procedural definition of a family is one or more adults accompanied by one or more children under their lawful care (usually related to the adults – children, grandchildren, wards, etc).  At least one child must be under 16 years at the time of initial interview.  Families with pregnancies coming to full term during the course of the tenancy are also permissible clients under this program.

 

Dual diagnosis clients are housed under a cooperative arrangement known as STAP (Short Term Accommodation Program). The consortium partners are Karakan, Boystown Logan, HACC and BDCDA as community-based agencies; and the government department of Disability Services Queensland (as recurrent funding source, auspiced by Karakan), with support from Queensland Health (via the local Mental Health clinic, with support from Logan Hospital and the ATODS Clinic).

 

We have been housing families since 1983 - firstly as Albert & Logan Community Care (ALCC) and now as BSAS. We operate 10 houses located in the Southern Logan region around Beenleigh. Our targeted average tenancy is 12 months.
