Paul Slater from Northwest Community Group has responded to claims from the Brisbane City Council that the homeless community are knocking back offers of emergency accommodation.

Paul Slater told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "They are not being offered accommodation, we need to be very clear about that."

"They haven't been offered accommodation, they've been sitting outside of offices, they've been talking to charities, they've been waiting and waiting and waiting and they are not being offered accommodation."
