Of the people housed (adult participants) since the programme began, 18% were from the city centre, 19% from Auckland Central, 34% from West Auckland, 25% from South Auckland and 4% from North Auckland. Please note, the location source reports on where people engaged with a Housing First programme – not the location of their subsequent home.

55% Male

44% Female

1% Gender diverse

In many of the families we work with, females are the predominant primary carer, which is reflected in the proportion of females in the Housing First programme.

73% Individuals

27% Families

7% of people in the Housing First programme are individuals living without dependent children (this is not to say they do not have children, but their children do not live with them). Families with dependent children make up the other 29% of those in the programme.

56% Māori

19% Pacific

17% NZ European

5% Other

3% Asian

Māori make up nearly half of all people in the progamme. Statistics show that Māori are overrepresented among people experiencing homelessness. The number of Pacific participants in the programme remains consistent at around 20%.

89% Private

8% Kāinga Ora

3% Other

89% of the homes we have sourced for people are from the private rental market. Private landlords are an incredibly important partner in the fight to end homelessness. In many cases, these privately-owned properties are being leased to a community housing provider in the Housing First collective.
