Behind the Story: Homelessness in Aotearoa and how to solve it

Every other week we read reports of the rising rates of
homelessness in our major cities. These stories are sometimes about
homelessness itself and other times about the siblings of
homelessness, like crime and welfare. Wellington editor Joel
MacManus spent months speaking to those on the frontline in the
fight to solve homelessness once and for all. It’s a long read, so
for the first time ever we’ve made Cover Stories available in audio
form. If you’d rather hear the story than read it, Te Aihe Butler
has voiced Joel’s story and you can find it right here in the
Behind The Story feed. Joel’s reporting covers the causes, the
implications and the potential solution for homelessness in New
Zealand. A comprehensive assessment of where we are at as a country
in caring for our most vulnerable, and far we still have to go.
