Complaints surface following stocktake of emergency housing
Gang activity, unsanitary conditions and a lack of smokes alarms made up some of the 39 complaints which surfaced after a Government stocktake of more than 550 emergency housing providers across the country. Social Development Minister Carmel Sepuloni admitted concerns about the Auckland Astro Motel in Ōtāhuhu, which received $3.1 million in Government funding between October 2016 and June 2018, as well as the quality of emergency accommodation generally.
