Four tenants had died, one moved to the private sector, three moved of their own volition, four because of redevelopment and the rest for a variety of other reasons. Only eleven families began a tenancy with Kāinga Ora in Kāpiti in 2020.
This is one of the reasons why the housing continuum is broken.” This is referring to Kainga Ora houses
Since then the numbers of homeless people have quadrupled as private rentals are being sold up with less rentals being available.
Most emergency and transitional housing is overflowing and there are now multiple groups of tents overnight. Camper vans, and other moving homes are now peoples homes. There is still time to sign the petition to show Kainga Ora and government just how serious this problem is. Please share – share – share to all your contacts and places you know of
