"[Housing First Ōtautahi] The outreach workers and nurses head out on to the street each day at 7am to talk to people they believe could be homeless. They speak to them about what they need and ensure they know about services available.

In their first week on the streets, the team encountered 19 people newly on the streets, including an 87-year-old woman, a 70 year old, and a 17 year old."

Excellent work. This is how cities should run. I love that these folks work across multiple agencies - faith based, council owned, tangata whenua, focused on mental health...❤️
