PROTESTING AGAINST HOMELESSNESS AT PARLIAMENT
Great trip to Parliament yesterday. The dogs were a hit! Have been in discussions with 2 animal shelters - SPCA and HUHA. People not being able to keep their pets as they are unable to find housing with them is a real issue. We were approached by Jenny Salesa's office and are now in communication with them about my situation. We also got on 3 news! So a very successful trip.
There are 1899 families in motels, 42,000 officially homeless, 150,000 sleeping rough. From $52 million to (expected to rise to) $300 million in 2 years in government assistance. Homelessness is a real problem in NZ. We are all paying for it in taxes. Paying for motel rooms is not the answer.
People shouldn't be punished for housing themselves. There aren't enough houses for everyone but everyone deserves a home.
