feb 13, 2020 - Homelessness Action Plan - starts
Description:
The Aotearoa New Zealand Homelessness Action Plan (2020-2023) has been developed to prevent and reduce homelessness. It sets out an overarching framework with actions to improve the wellbeing and housing outcomes of individuals and whānau who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
It is a shift in the way the government responds to homelessness. It is a multi-year cross-government roadmap towards the Government’s vision that ‘homelessness is prevented where possible, or is rare, brief and non-recurring’.
The plan is an important step in delivering on this vision. It sets out an overarching framework with actions to improve the wellbeing and housing outcomes of individuals and whānau who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
The plan has 18 immediate actions to be put in place in 2020, and a further 18 longer-term actions to be developed for implementation over 2020-2023. By taking the immediate actions, we will support over 10,000 people at risk of or experiencing homelessness over three years.
This action plan is backed up by over $300 million of new government funding.
