A $390 million funding boost has been announced for Queensland's homelessness services, days after the state emerged as "ground zero" for Australia's cost-of-living crisis.

Specialist homelessness services across Queensland will receive a 20 per cent increase - an extra $72 million - in funding over the next 18 months, as part of a new housing plan.
