Supportive Housing

This paper examines the relationship between housing assistance and youth offending in New Zealand (NZ). Using the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), we established three cohorts of youth aged 14–24 who were part of households that received the Emergency Housing Special Needs Grant (EHSNG), lived in public housing, or received the Accommodation Supplement (AS) between 2016 and 2022. We found that offending decreased significantly among young people living in public housing or receiving the AS compared with the general population. However, reductions were not significant among those receiving EHSNGs, highlighting the importance of stable housing assistance on reducing youth offending.
The historical injustices of colonization, dispossession, and racism have created unique housing challenges influencing the health gap for Indigenous people in high-income countries. Understanding the breadth and nature of research in the area of housing and Indigenous health is key for establishing a research agenda that fills knowledge gaps and informs culturally appropriate housing initiatives.
