Putea for rangatahi homelessness action
The Government is investing $40 million to help rangatahi and young people to find a safe, stable place to live.
Marama Davidson, the Associate Minister of Housing (Homelessness), says it’s part of a four year, $75 million package that also includes $25 million for iwi and Māori providers to deliver kaupapa Māori wrap-around support.
There’s $20 million to expand the supply of rangatahi-focused transitional housing, and $20 million to design and deliver a new supported housing service for rangatahi with higher and more complex needs.
There’s also $10 million to mobilise the delivery of homeless outreach services.
