A New Zealand charity is hoping to pioneer a solution to homelessness.
The Methodist Mission Northern is planning to implement a daring new client service model designed to create pathways out of unhealthy spirals, and break the cycle of homelessness.
The program intends to veer away from hand outs, instead providing better service and support to people in need.
If the New Zealand Methodist Mission Northern charity pioneer program is successful, it may have world wide implications for improving conditions for people living without a home.
