Where do you think more social housing is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Raymond Bishope applied for a dozen homes and failed before he got accepted into Salvation Army’s social housing.

And in the months since he and his 15-year-old have been living in the Salvation Army’s new $25-million, 31 home complex, his son’s life has changed for the better and it’s presented an opportunity for Bishope to give something back to the community.

Where do you think more social housing is needed? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
