A large social services provider is welcoming the Government's new cross-sector social investment approach.
The Social Investment Fund is receiving $190 million in this years budget, aiming to invest in social services early to prevent future harm and save costs.
Social Service Providers Aotearoa CEO Belinda Himiona told Ryan Bridge it allows the work to be tracked across different government agencies.
She says it allows them to tackle the hard cases, not just one contract dealing with a particular issue like education.
