Queensland's first sleep bus has arrived to offer emergency beds to homeless people on the Sunshine Coast, as support agencies struggle to help an avalanche of people caught in the housing crisis.The Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre raised $200,000 for two sleep buses after a homeless man was killed in 2019

He said although the bus was not a long or even medium-term housing solution, it would give some respite to people in crisis. He said Ross River fever from a mosquito bite developed into chronic fatigue, leaving him unable to work for more than an hour or two without needing to lie down.
