I have written on Te Puea Marae before. They are providing practical support to the homeless in Auckland. But they need help:

Solutions offered for homeless as marae reaches capacity The South Auckland marae opened its doors to the homeless but has reached full capacity and is calling on the public to help their community. Offers of rooms, Kai and clothing have been offered tonight, as well as new initiatives like an email system to create a network of emergency hosting options. …

You can donate at the Givealittle page here.

It is shameful that this is needed in NZ, but there it is, this is what the Brighter Future looks like.

As it stands -no need for clothes, towels, or blankets.

They do need: food. Lots and lots more food.

And money https://t.co/cti6lRZhfE — The Aunties (@aunties_the) June 2, 2016

Empty boxes please so they can make up food parcels for families as they leave Marae and fams living in cars. — The Aunties (@aunties_the) June 2, 2016

The situation is dire.

Families too whakamā to come into Marae even for shower.

Working families who can’t afford rent.

They need help. — The Aunties (@aunties_the) June 2, 2016

Updates:

Flying squads.

Knocking on car windows in the middle of the night.

Offering housing ppl can’t afford.

And help that comes w/strings attached — The Aunties (@aunties_the) June 2, 2016

Or, to put it another way, "Homeless people don't want to 'owe' odious debt to WINZ" https://t.co/SRm0SBeZPS — Idiot/Savant (@norightturnnz) June 2, 2016
