Numbers of rough sleepers in Auckland

R S Grant made this Official Information request to Megan Woods

The request was refused by Megan Woods.

From: R S Grant

Dear Megan Woods,

On or around 26 April 2020 you stated that:

“Some of the agencies we've been working with, who of course know most of the rough-sleepers in the area, have been trying for years to get some of these people into accommodation. It's during COVID we've managed to achieve that, so we certainly don't want to lose those gains that we've made in really tackling homelessness in New Zealand.”

Please can you provide any information you have assessing the extent to which those gains have, in fact, subsequently been lost in respect of Auckland?

Yours faithfully,
Mr R S Grant
