Homelessness is on the rise in Pōneke. The number Homelessness is on the rise in Pōneke. The numbers are concerning - but each figure represents a human with their own story, their own struggles, and too often, a system that hasn’t been there when they needed it most.

We’re committed to providing support with dignity and compassion – from hot meals and free showers in the short term, to transitional housing and peer support in the long term.

This World Homeless Day, there’s lots you can do to make a difference. You can donate to organisations like ours that work every day to help those experiencing homelessness. Or you can raise awareness: share this post (or someone else’s), talk to your whānau and friends, and stand in solidarity with those doing it tough. Every action counts in supporting those facing tough times.
