The forum examined the one-off nature of project funding and stated the need for continuance of pilots such as the Community Partners in Tenancy Project (CPIT) where five CALD workers were trained and accredited in tenancy advice and advocacy and community education in partnership with the Tenants Union of Queensland. One graduate, Anzo James, now works as a full time tenancy advice worker at Acacia Ridge TAAS. Read more »
