Supporting women into permanent accommodation
As demand for housing increases in Wellington, the barriers to accessing permanent, affordable accommodation worsen for our women.
The University of Auckland published an article in April outlining the key struggles for people living on a benefit, and the ongoing effect of COVID-19 on people's financial situation.
It's been a challenging year for all of us, but for women with no permanent, stable, or safe housing, just getting though the national lockdown was a huge achievement.
Our support worker, Sophie, has been doing a great job running sessions for our residents, and inviting people into the House to give talks and hold workshops.
