The number of young people sleeping in parks and reserves, couch surfing and in emergency housing is on the rise in the Bay of Plenty, social agencies say. The reasons vary, from trauma to their family becoming homeless as a casualty of the housing crisis and the pandemic, and those at the coalface expect it to get worse.
They say permanent accommodation specifically for young people and wrap-around services are needed.
A Ministry of Housing and Urban Development report says 51 per cent of all the homeless in the country are under 25, which includes unaccompanied minors and young people whose families are homeless.
