A growing number of Southland families are in need of accommodation, and now they’ve got two new champions in their corner to help them find homes.

Both the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and national trust Emerge Aotearoa have established teams in Invercargill to help whānau navigate rental markets and secure their own tenancies.

The Southland Housing Action Forum housing champion Anna Stevens said the groups had made a big difference, circumventing situations where families may have ended up in emergency or social housing.

This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
