Congratulations to the Government for currently housing almost all homeless in New Zealand.
For many years it has been New Zealand's shame to have thousands of homeless people, including many young people living on our streets and public places.
For many years, organisations - including Salvation Army, Nightshelter Trust,
Love Soup Rotorua, and selfless individuals such as Tiny Deane - have supported the homeless.
Now, with most homeless people in motels, support can be given to those suffering from addiction and mental health problems.
Others are now working. The most promising aspect is the Government's promise that, after lockdown, these individuals and families will be supported into permanent accommodation.
