Youth homelessness
Brodie Fraser made this Official Information request to Ministry of Housing and Urban Development
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Brodie Fraser to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Brodie Fraser
Dear Ministry of Housing and Urban Development,
In Budget 2022, then-Associate Minister Davidson announced $75m in funding for addressing youth homelessness. This included $20m to expand the supply of rangatahi-focused transitional housing, and $20m to design and deliver a new supported housing service for rangatahi with higher and more complex needs. Announcement here: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/inve...
I was wondering what the outcomes of this announcement are. How many TH places for young people were added? How many TH places exist for young people in total?
Was there a new supported housing service created? If so, how many places does it offer? If such a service was not created, why not? Was any existing service expanded instead?
Yours faithfully,
Brodie Fraser
