33967 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Associate Minister of Housing: What consideration, if any, was given to evidence that more than 1,000 children and young people in Gisborne do not have a proper home during the development of the Government's additional $14.5 million homelessness and rough-sleeping support package?

Hon Tama Potaka: Decisions on the homelessness package were based on insights gathered during the production of the March 2026 Homelessness Insights Report, along with consideration of existing services that could be leveraged and capacity to stand up services quickly.
