Sustaining Tenancies is a new initiative that has been rolled out the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with the hope of being the “ambulance at the top of the cliff” instead of the bottom when the tenant ends up homeless.
- Once a tenant has been referred to the service (or self-refers) and they are prepared to commit to a specified time, up to 6 months, The Salvation Army case worker, me, will do an assessment to determine the immediate need and what the main threat that is causing the tenancy to be terminated. For example, if the issue was property damage or property maintenance the immediate need is to repair the damage or clear the section and we have access to contractors who can do this work.
- If the need was financial and rent arrears I could assist them as I am also a Budget Advisor and work through the finances with them. - -Attending WINZ appointments to make sure they are getting all they are entitled to.
As well as connecting them to other local networks as needed.

Message me or email: hastings.cm@salvationarmy.org.nz to make an appointment for assessment or for more information

Cattery recommendation

Tina from Tamatea

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can recommend a nice cattery. We have to book our cat in for 4 days in December. He has never been away from our home since birth (4 years) and really want to find a good place for him as he can be a little nervous. Any info would be most appreciated.

Hi Neighbours

You may have seen our vehicles around your neighbourhood but be uncertain about what we do.

At DownSize NZ, we clear unwanted possessions from homes. We help our clients to dispose of unwanted items from their house, garage or section and we sell, donate, recycle or dump items on their behalf.

As well as helping clients when downsizing or moving into care, around half of our work involves deceased estates where we provide a complete service of clearing possessions and preparing homes for sale. As well as clearing possessions we tidy-up sections, complete necessary house maintenance and arrange any repairs needed to ensure the property achieves the best sale price possible.

For reference, we're a local Hawkes Bay business, have been Police-vetted and we take no commissions on items we sell. You can read what our clients say about us and see some examples of our work at downsize.co.nz...

So if you or someone you know needs a hand with downsizing or help with a deceased estate, please get in touch on 06 601 4266.

Kind regards, Ant and Sue McLagan
Owners, DownSize NZ
