As with people who've been unemployed for a while, another common obstacle to getting into a rental is a lack of recent references. When I was at WINZ the other day I saw a poster for a workshop on creating a "housing CV".

As with references for jobs, there's absolutely no reason housing references can't be ... creative. Stretching the truth just enough to give people who've been without a secure home for a while a fair shot at fixing that.
