The government has a vision that homelessness is prevented where possible, and when it does happen, is rare, brief and non-recurring. The Aotearoa New Zealand Homelessness Action Plan will build on and support work already underway around New Zealand and put in place essential changes to address responses to homelessness.

The 2019 Budget included an extra $1.9 billion for mental health over four years. Some of this cash will establish a new service putting mental health workers into doctors’ clinics, iwi health providers and health services. Suicide prevention, addiction treatment and the nurses in schools schemes also received a boost.
