1 июл 2021 г. - Emergency Housing Pilot in Rotorua - starts

Описание:

A place-based contracted emergency housing pilot was established in Rotorua. As part of the pilot, approximately 200 families with a dependent child or children were relocated from motels funded through the Emergency Housing Special Needs Grant (EHSNG) to motels contracted for emergency housing by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

Once the transition was complete, it was intended that all families with children with an emergency housing need in Rotorua would be in contracted emergency housing and no longer receiving an EHSNG. The contracted motels were for the exclusive use of families with children needing emergency housing and wrap around support services were funded as part of the contracts. Families in contracted emergency housing were required to pay a contribution (25 percent of income) towards their accommodation costs on the same basis as recipients of an EHSNG or a resident of transitional housing/public housing. The pilot was established with central government agencies working alongside iwi, the local Council and community providers.

People without children and with an emergency housing need continued to receive support with their emergency housing costs via the EHSNG.
The pilot was intended to test a new way of responding to and addressing acute emergency housing needs in the community, with consideration to be given to expanding the model to additional locations.
