Firefighter who became homeless gets place to live from Auckland charity
A former firefighter and surf lifesaving coach who became homeless after suffering from alcoholism and debilitating injuries now has a roof over his head thanks to HomeGround – Auckland City Mission’s 'home' for those in need.
Bryne Gregory first received care from the charity three years ago after an accident reduced his mobility and left him unable to work.
With no income he became homeless and found himself on the steps of Auckland City Mission.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
