Home is belonging.
It’s in the land. It’s the core of our identity.
It tells the universal story of the people we love and the community that forms us.
It’s the foundation of health, of security, of thriving.
And yet, New Zealand has the highest rate of homelessness of all OECD countries.
Thousands are being denied their human right to a decent home.

When we think about homelessness, we might focus only on the most visible examples of "house-lessness".
But it is more than just the lack of a house. Homelessness has many forms and it can touch us all.
Kotahitanga - togetherness. Sharing the earth, extending our āwhina (support) to everyone.
In partnership, we need to redefine homelessness and solve the problem piece by piece.
Because home is about people.
Together.
