Seminar: Housing First in New Zealand
Seminar: Housing First in New Zealand
Starts: 12:00 pm
Ends: 11/12/2019 - 1:00 pm
Location: Adam Auditorium, City Gallery, Civic Square, 101 Wakefield St, Wellington
Description: ‘Housing First’ is an approach to ending homelessness that centres on quickly moving people experiencing homelessness into permanent housing and then providing additional support and services as needed. In 2017 the initial Housing First programme was launched in Auckland with Government and local Council funding, and there are now programmes in Christchurch, Tauranga, Rotorua, Hamilton, Blenheim, Wellington and Whangarei. Researchers Brodie Fraser, Clare Aspinall, Jenny Ombler and Nevil Pierse will discuss different aspects of homelessness in NZ and the Ending Homelessness in New Zealand: Housing First research programme, a five year research partnership between the University of Otago, the University of Waikato, and The People’s Project. The main purpose of the research is to look at the provision of Housing First in New Zealand, to consider how the model fits into the unique New Zealand context, and to evaluate the outcomes and life courses for people who have been housed in Hamilton by The People’s Project. Carol McMinn from The People’s Project will discuss this latter aspect in more detail.
