The young people who set up a camp in the bush in West Auckland have moved out. Most are now in temporary housing.
The group of mostly teenagers were interviewed on television and made headlines last month after their makeshift tent sites were discovered in bush behind shops.
New Lynn
MP David Cunliffe, who has visited the camp regularly in recent weeks, said it had now been abandoned.
He would receive a case-by-case briefing soon, but said most of the camp residents had found accommodation.
"All but two of them have been housed by either Winz in temporary accommodation, or there are a couple of social housing agencies that have helped place people. There were two that found their own accommodation, who were the last to leave.
