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.

172 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead.
The housing crisis has reached catastrophic levels in recent times and been exacerbated by the effects of Covid19, the cost of living, recent weather events, and the looming recession. Yet, there remains hope that if Kiwis can band together, justice, equity and a chance at a fair go are still within reach. In this talk Brook will speak to the sobering realities many people face who are experiencing homelessness while pointing to hopeful threads of innovation that could help Auckland and NZ return to our egalitarian roots.
Brook is an executive leader with entrepreneurial flair and insightful perspectives on social change. Brook’s values are based on his strong training in empowerment-based practice and uphold the mana and dignity of every individual while working to create strengths-based solutions to wicked problems. As a leader, Brook’s philosophy is to grow people first and collaborate to achieve collective impact where it doesn’t matter who receives the credit. Brook is a Kiwibank Local Hero recipient, a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow, and an alumni member of Leadership New Zealand. His influence and impact spans from developing solutions to homelessness to working on the issue of food sovereignty. Brook’s charismatic and common-sense approach means his work is always exhilarating and thought provoking.
Brook recently submitted his thesis for his master’s degree in applied Practice (Social Practice). Titled ‘Self-determined Housing Choices for Young People Leaving the Care System,’ the thesis investigates the issue of homelessness amongst rangatahi while examining possible answers to what is a serious issue in Aotearoa New Zealand.
(This is another of the talks hosted by Onewa Christian Community.)

We desperately need some sandbags to stop our garage flooding (again!!). Repeated calls to the council only got the response "we're not authorised to allow that".

Repeated calls to the council only got the response "we're not authorised to allow that". If the council can't help even in such a minimal way to *prevent* flooding before it happens, then I wonder why we "authorise" our banks to pay rates. Does anyone know where we can obtain sandbags (preferably free)?
I've tried Mitre10 and Bunnings. Trademe has some but they're expensive. Any ideas, folks?
