Homeless or about to be Homeless

A checklist for those who are homeless or just about to be homeless.
Contact WINZ and ask to be put on the Emergency Housing list
If you are looking like nowhere to go and only have two or three days left contact WINZ again. If you ring and keep getting disconnected then call into your local office.
If anyone has any other ideas of how they managed to get Emergency Accommodation please join the Homeless in Kapiti Facebook group as commenting will be turned off here due to unnecessary rude and uninformed comments from previous posts. The link for the Facebook group is

If still no luck contact Rob McCann at KCDC.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
