Will Street is a five bedroom home run by house parents and up to 10 kaimahi. There is a partnership between Te Hau Ora Whānau Services (a community-based whānau driven kaupapa Māori provider, offering a range of services including, youth development, mentoring, whānau ora, and Te Awhi Mai Day Programme) and Adventure Development Ltd (a notfor-profit organisation that provides mentoring and counselling supporting young people to live fulfilling lives) to deliver educational and transition services. At the time of the evaluation, Will Street was implementing several changes after a reset to delivery. The goals of Will Street are to: ● Provide a typical whānau environment that is safe, supportive, and encouraging ● Operate a strengths-based approach supporting rangatahi towards positive and proactive life choices ● Customise support to needs and context of rangatahi ● Involve whānau and be inclusive of their needs and aspirations.
