Paul Barber: Salvation Army Senior Policy Analyst on why homelessness is at it's highest level in years - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A housing spokesperson warns homelessness is the worst it's been in several years. 

The Government is seeking urgent advice as communities report rises in rough sleeping across the nation. 

Auckland outreach providers alone reported a 90 percent spike in homelessness. 

Salvation Army Senior Policy Analyst Paul Barber says it could come from issues with both resourcing and delivery. 

He suggests a solution could be re-investing the hundreds-of-millions of dollars taken out of emergency housing support.
