Paris, like much of Queensland, has been grappling with a housing crisis for some time.
It hit a fever pitch at the 2024 Olympics, when an escalation in the demand for short-term accommodation contributed to thousands of people being displaced.
Armed police were seen directing migrants and homeless people onto government-backed buses that took them from the city centre to temporary lodging ahead of the Games' opening ceremony.
"It was disappointing to see what happened in Paris," leading housing and homelessness advocate Q Shelter CEO Fiona Caniglia told AAP.
"We don't want that to happen in Queensland. We can do better than that."
However, Ms Caniglia fears Brisbane could be heading toward a post-2032 Olympic Games homelessness crisis if the next state government does not take action.
The warning comes after a Q Shelter-commissioned Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute report on the Olympics' impact on homelessness and the local housing market.
"The best case scenario is people will be pushed out to the regions," Ms Caniglia said.
"But if you live here now and for reasons that are important to you, like work and family, then we need to create a framework so you can stay, and so you're not forced to move because of the impact of the Games."
Reports will be published annually leading up to the 2032 Games, to monitor housing market conditions and homeless responses in Brisbane.
The aim is to help calibrate policy responses to ensure Brisbane 2032 delivers its intended legacy of social inclusion.
In the past, host cities have enjoyed an influx in tourism and work opportunities in the lead-up to the Games, driving up short-term accommodation costs, experts say.
In some cases, long-term rentals were listed as short-term stays, with demand driving up rental prices.
"Queensland's prolonged housing crisis, coupled with escalating rents and property prices, is placing more households at risk of instability and homelessness", said Karen Dane of Communify, one of a number of community organisations and charities who are backing the reports.
Q Shelter warns that while the Games bring in billions, there's a risk that development and infrastructure will be rushed out without proper consultation with communities and planning processes.
Ms Caniglia cited Hamilton in Brisbane's north as an urban example of one of the "winners and losers" of Games planning.
It's undergoing a dramatic transformation and will host the 2032 main athletes village under the current Labor government's infrastructure plans.
"That will be turned into a thriving, vibrant community," Ms Caniglia said.
"There are winners and losers. There will be people who own or partly own property in those areas that will have windfall gains.
"But the private rental market will be priced out because of the amenities."
However, Q Shelter said it was not out of the realm of possibility that Brisbane could be the first Games host that doesn't worsen homelessness.
This could be done through legacy planning, including repurposing the athletes village into social housing - something that's been done before, Ms Caniglia said.
The 1956 Melbourne Olympics turned 600 former athletes village dwellings into public housing, while the 2004 Athens Games created 2,292 social and affordable homes.
The Queensland Labor government has unveiled its 2032 Olympic plan, but it might change dramatically after the October 26 election.
The Liberal National Party are tipped to end Labor's nine-year reign and has committed to a 100-day Olympic infrastructure review if they are victorious.
"The next four years are crucial to ensuring enough housing is built before 2032," Youth Family Service CEO Christopher John said.
"This is an opportunity for the next government to demonstrate their commitment to housing as a basic human right – not only to meet current needs but also to prevent the housing crisis from worsening further."
Meanwhile, Q Shelter has praised the Labor government's plan to build one million more homes by 2046, including 53,500 for social housing.
The LNP has made the same promise - but aims to complete delivery two years earlier.
"Whoever the government is, we're asking them to maintain momentum on that plan," Ms Caniglia said.
