Last week saw a record number of the capital's citizens seeking a bed at the city's Night Shelter.
Fifty-five individuals, including students and others with part time jobs, bunked down at the shelter - more than twice the number seeking a bed this time last year.
This week on Ideas we take a look at the growing problem of homelessness and ask what can be done to stem the tide.
Guests:
Willie Matangi - a homeless man who first hit the streets as an eleven-year-old thirty years ago.
Darren - a Wellington man who 15 months ago swapped a prison cell for a cell-sized room in a Wellington hostel.
Lifewise General Manager of Community Services John McCarthy.
A weekly programme exploring a range of philosophical, social, historical and environmental ideas.
Ideas is broadcast on Radio New Zealand National at 11:05am on Sunday Morning with Chris Laidlaw
