Housing Support Services
Stable housing is essential for wellbeing. Our Housing Support Service helps rangatahi and whānau secure safe, lasting homes while providing wraparound support to build independence.
We assist rangatahi aged 16-21 who have spent at least three continuous months in care or youth justice placements after age 14 years and 9 months.
