We are unable to ask Jacinda what she has to say about a 37% increase in homeless numbers under her watch, so maybe Chris or Carmel could speak for Jacinda?

Labour increased homelessness

Do you recall Jacinda promised to solve homelessness? I think she said in four weeks.

Would it surprise anyone to learn that according to the census, it increased 37%?

The Homelessness Insights report shows that the numbers homeless increased from 3,624 in 2018 to 4,965 in 2023. In the previous five years, it dropped 12%. So Key and English saw a 12% decline and Ardern a 37% increase.
