50968 (2024). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: Further to the Minister's reply 11647, broken down by month from 1 October 2023 up to 31 July 2024, how many people have been assisted or otherwise seen by the Homelessness Outreach Service?

Hon Tama Potaka: Month Number of Clients Consented to Participate in the Programme Oct-23 36 Nov-23 71 Dec-23 24 Jan-24 44 Feb-24 47 Mar-24 52 Apr-24 71 May-24 97 Jun-24 39 Total 481 Notes: The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) only reports clients who have explicitly consented to share their information, therefore, the number reported in the table is less than the actual number of clients assisted by the Homelessness Outreach Programme. HUD’s contract managers are regularly in touch with service providers for updates on general trends and the extent of service provided beyond what has been reported. As the quality of reporting improves over time, reported figures from the previous months may be revised in the future.
