Lifewise is an organisation that helps people out of homelessness by providing stable housing and wrap-around support for issues like addiction, mental health, and disability.
Their program Housing First houses nearly 500 people across Aotearoa, and has a retention rate of over 90%.
Lifewise is calling on the government to form a ten-year plan that will help address the housing shortage and alleviate homelessness.
Arno spoke to Lifewise COO Ann-Marie Searchfield to find out more.
Arno then spoke to The Salvation Army director Ian Hutson.
The Salvation Army provides emergency, transitional and social housing across New Zealand.
They recently met with several parties to iron down a plan to build more state houses.
New Zealand’s Housing shortage has put a strain on Renter and Landlord relationships for decades.
The Labour Government’s renters’ rights reforms have meant new standards for healthy homes and protections for Tenants.
However, National’s promise to reinstate "No-Cause" Evictions could potentially undermine housing security for renters who make up a third of our country's population.
Nicholas spoke to Éimhín O'Shea from Renters United about what no-cause evictions would mean for renters as well as their recently released scorecards, which provide grades for each political party's housing policy thus far.
News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw about the National Party’s foreign buyers tax policy, and the renters advocacy group, Renters United, scorecards ranking the major political parties on their policies for renters.
She also spoke to architect and director of academic reviews at University of Auckland, Professor Diane Brand, about the Chip Packet Project and addressing homelessness.

For our regular interview, News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to the Green Party’s James Shaw about the National Party’s foreign buyers tax policy, and the renters advocacy group, Renters United, scorecards ranking the major political parties on their policies for renters.
The Chip Packet Project is an Auckland-based non-profit, reusing chip packets to create survival blankets.
The blankets have helped at least 69,000 people who are homeless or affected by natural disasters like flooding.
News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to architect and director of academic reviews at University of Auckland, Professor Diane Brand, about her involvement in the project, and the urgent need to address Aotearoa’s homelessness crisis.
