Sleeping under the stars sounds romantic, but not if you're homeless.
Last year Lifewise Rotorua held a big sleepout for the community to raise awareness around homelessness - and it's happening again next month.
Haehaetu Barrett, service manager at Lifewise Mental Health & Addictions Services, said the sleepout was about making the Homelessness Action Plan come alive.
"We launched the plan in February and have had a number of meetings about who could do what, but there's just not enough resources. We are all trying to do bits of the plan.
"It's about getting the community working together, it has to be sustainable with people not pulling away."
