Homelessness is one of the most visible signs of poverty in this country. Walk through the CBD of any of our major cities, and you are likely to come across someone living rough. But often what we may see on our streets is the tip of the iceberg for a much larger issue. This week, HomeGround in Auckland, one of the initiatives trying to tackle this crisis, turns three –but that’s just one location in one city trying to get on top of a national problem. Today on The Front Page, we talk with University of Otago research professor, and co-leader of He Kainga Oranga – Housing and Health Research Programme, Nevil Pierse, about how we could solve this crisis. And later, we speak to NZ Herald senior writer, Simon Wilson, about HomeGround and if it's working. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
