Ngā Kaupapa

The purpose of this document is to capture the voice of rangatahi, predominantly rangatahi Māori who are living in emergency housing and impacted by homelessness.
All facets of their lives are overtaken by the issue of homelessness; in this report, we focus on its impact on rangatahi education priorities.
Through a wānanga conducted with youth affected by homelessness, we gathered valuable insights and quotes that shed light on the challenges they face in maintaining or re-entering education.
The brief highlights the barriers encountered by youth experiencing homelessness, identifies key implications, and proposes recommendations to address this growing issue.
