29081 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Minister of Housing: Why did the number of people recorded sleeping rough by the Downtown Community Ministry in Wellington increase from 145 to 163 between the first quarters of 2025 and 2026, as recorded in the Homelessness Insights report to 31 March 2026, despite Wellington being one of the four centres targeted by the five short-term actions announced in September 2025?
