jan 23, 1966 - Four trade training hostels in Auckland
Description:
The success of the schemes is due in no small measure to placing the trainees in suitable hostels where they receive the benefit of close but friendly supervision and helpful advice and guidance.
Four hostels of about 180 beds are now being used at Auckland. Of these, two are owned by the Department. Owens Road Hostel, a new property, was purchased by the Department last year and has accommodation for 50 boys. It is leased to the United Maori Mission. Domett Avenue Hostel was taken over from the Department of Labour in 1965 and a new 30-bed wing has since been built by the carpentry trainees. This hostel is leased to the Presbyterian Church. A third hostel, Gillies Avenue, is owned by the Maori Trustee. This is also leased to the United Maori Mission. The fourth hostel is at Dominion Road, and is owned and operated by the Presbyterian Church.
