#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Budget 2026: #Rangatahi abandoned as #homelessness hits record levels - youth advocates
by Layla Bailey-McDowell, Māori News Journalist
5/28/2026"A youth homelessness agency says Budget 2026 has 'abandoned' #Rangatahi experiencing homelessness, as new data shows homelessness in Aotearoa is at its highest level ever.
"Youth housing collective Manaaki Rangatahi pou ārahi (chief executive) Bianca Johanson described the Budget as 'an ivory tower budget', saying young people and #whānau struggling through the #CostOfLiving crisis had been ignored.
" 'I heard [critics] call this the abandonment budget. They have abandoned us and that's how it feels,' Johanson said.
" 'There is just more picking on the poor, making things tougher for those that are already just finding it hard to survive daily."
"It comes as a new report from Community Housing Aotearoa found homelessness had reached its highest recorded level in Aotearoa, with more than half of those experiencing homelessness under the age of 24.
Homelessness reaches highest levels in history, Community Housing Aotearoa report finds"The report also found Māori made up 28.8 percent of people experiencing homelessness, despite making up 17.1 percent of the population.
"Manaaki Rangatahi Waikato regional connector Danielle Marks said the situation for #Māori experiencing homelessness was "disgusting".
" 'I think first and foremost, it's really disgusting that Māori especially are homeless on their own whenua,' she said."

None of our mahi would be possible without our incredible team of staff who inspire and support rangatahi in our sessions.
Jen is one of those incredible staff members who has been running sessions out in Naenae, Strathmore and Karori. She has been focused on ages 9-12 and inspiring them to get initially interested in technology and the fun things they can do.
> The best about the job is seeing the excitement on the rangatahi faces when the concepts click.

With just a week out from December we will be running an Advent of Code leaderboard for rangatahi across Aotearoa.
For those who don’t know Advent of Code is a series of fun (and challenging) code problems that come out each day over December as an Advent Calendar. It’s a great chance for rangatahi (and everyone else) to try some coding challenges, test a new language or test their skills.
Leaderboard Code: 991743-ca2f6858
