## Resource

Over 33,000 children in New Zealand are homeless — from infants to teens — facing shattered education, denied healthcare, and higher risks of illness, with Maori and Pacific kids hit hardest. Women, half of the nation’s homeless population and often mothers, are trapped in a vicious cycle where stable housing is essential to reunite with their kids — yet custody requires being with them. The system fails to wrap support around these families, leaving them in unsafe, overcrowded or car-based living. Homelessness is at an all-time high, worsened by a housing shortage, and the government’s budget offers no clear path to tackle child poverty or this crisis. Urgent, targeted solutions for women and children are needed now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
