PR2: Project Proposal: Addressing Student Homelessness in Australia

This project proposal addresses the critical issue of student homelessness within Australian universities. It begins by highlighting the problem: a significant number of tertiary students facing homelessness due to a lack of affordable housing, particularly in major cities. The project aims to develop housing facilities to provide students with a stable foundation, access to resources, and improved well-being. The proposal outlines the opportunity, emphasizing the challenges homeless students face, including emotional trauma and health impacts, particularly for international students. The proposed solution involves developing housing facilities sponsored by the Australian Federal community, ensuring affordability and healthcare access. The project aligns with CQUniversity's strategic intent of community engagement and utilizes project management concepts for effective execution. The proposal also considers alternative solutions and identifies key stakeholders, including the Australian Federal Government, the Australian Government, and the students. It details key activities, resource allocation, risk management, and confirms that the project does not involve data collection from homeless individuals for research purposes. The document concludes with a bibliography of relevant project management literature.
