Auckland's rent crisis is forcing would-be tenants to seek driveways and front yards as dwelling options. Advertisements are being placed at supermarkets by people wanting to live in cars seeking "driveway and shower" arrangements.
This programme on homelessness appeared on Maori Television.
Bex Rillstone, Monte Cecilia's Whanau worker was one of the organisers of the car park up to support homeless families.
A friend of Monte has made a major financial contribution to enable the building of six, tow bedroom units on the Windrush site.
Did you know in 2015 the staff at Monte Cecilia took housing enquiries related to 580 adults and 899 children?
