There was an interesting piece in the Sunday Star Times last week. Well done to Gimme Shelter and our Auckland colleague Corie Haddock at Lifewise. While one size does not fit all, and things are perhaps more complex than the article suggests, DCM is a strong proponent of a ‘housing first’ approach. The figures in the article reflect a narrow definition of homelessness and the reader could conclude that a minor adjustment to housing is required. Hidden homelessness is a very significant issue, suggesting New Zealand requires a large increase in affordable, permanent housing. stuff.co.nz/national/10261568/How-you-help-the-homeless
