They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

The association has called on the Government to improve funding for community dental care to prevent services in hospitals from being clogged up.
It wants free dental care extended from age 18 to 25, an age group more financially disadvantaged than others. It also urged the Government to expand income thresholds for dental grants and enable Ministry of Social Development dental grants to be used for check-ups.
What do you think of the availability and cost of dental care in New Zealand? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.

Now I know why only rubbishy books were available during recent Bookaramas. Who donates their good books to Rotary so booksellers can make a heap of money? Bookarama is a community event, not an opportunity for book sellers to make a huge profit. Everyone should have the same chances. It's absolute bollocks that they put out more quality books. What they put out at the start is what was donated recently. Once the shelves get empty, they replenish with what was left over from the previous Bookarama. They should only allow bags up to a certain size. That would solve the problem and everyone would have the same chance.
