The Ministry of Social Development's group general manager of enablement, Karen Hocking, said emergency housing continued to be available as a last resort.

"We are concerned to hear a women's refuge is having difficulties helping vulnerable whānau to access accommodation," she said.

Good onya Karen....now what are you going to do about it?

Cardboard ‘Instant Houses’ Being Used at Noto Evacuation Shelters; Built to Provide Privacy, Prevent Spread of Disease

Cardboard “instant houses” are being widely used in the areas affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The houses can be easily set up and help provide privacy and prevent the spread of infectious disease at evacuation centers where about 8,000 people are still staying.

Sorry for posting this constantly. I had to turn down the place that was offered because I won't have any basic furniture or appliances for several months while I try to fundraise. I am currently at 13% on the fundraising meter, which is enough to get maybe a second hand bed and food for now to keep me alive. I'm still in need of fundraising the rest in order to get things like a
Washing machine, drawers, shelves, a drill and level so I can put more shelves up on the walls, air purifiers, and HEPA filters for the air vents since I'll be in an apartment.
And funds for the move itself.
I absolutely cannot catch covid again, I am already disabled and another round will kill me. I cannot work to save up for these basic necessities, hand washing my clothes while this I'll will not be possible either. I will stop posting this once I have this funded. I'm so sorry for keep posting this.
A place will be available this year anywhere between two to three to 6 months from now, I am still in emergency housing in the meantime.

Your donations are much appreciated, your continued boosting is also appreciated
