Where do you think more social housing is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Raymond Bishope applied for a dozen homes and failed before he got accepted into Salvation Army’s social housing.

And in the months since he and his 15-year-old have been living in the Salvation Army’s new $25-million, 31 home complex, his son’s life has changed for the better and it’s presented an opportunity for Bishope to give something back to the community.
