line-height:150% !important; } } Together we can end homelessness Tu'u atu, tu'u mai We're achieving great things together Many of you have seen the news headlines - about individuals rough sleeping and unsupported, or suggesting that there has been a huge increase in the numbers of people experiencing homelessness. Some of you have been in touch, asking us what DCM’s experience has been, and whether it is all “doom and gloom”. What does the data tell us? In the first quarter of this year, DCM worked with 356 people who were experiencing homelessness, compared with 312 in the same period last year. This is an increase of 14%, so yes, the numbers of homeless people we are supporting has increased - but this is not the doubling suggested by some articles. Indeed, at the sharp end, the numbers of people rough sleeping and without shelter has decreased: we worked with 118 in the first quarter of 2020 and with 96 in the first three months of this year. That’s a decrease of 19%. However the most significant increase is in the numbers of people supported who are in emergency housing. This has increased from 160 to 242, up 51%*. As we have been saying for some years now, the bad news is that there are just not enough houses. People are moving into emergency housing, and remaining there, waiting and waiting for a home to become available. While these people are off the streets, with shelter and able to practice self care, emergency housing is a form of homelessness, and not a long term solution. Despite the many challenges, people are also being supported to access their own homes and to sustain those tenancies. 70 people with long histories of homelessness are currently housed and being supported by the Aro Mai Housing First team. And 75 people at risk of losing their tenancies and falling back in to homelessness are being supported by DCM’s Sustaining Tenancies team so that they too can remain housed and go on to thrive in their tenancies. We will continue to advocate for houses, houses, houses. But with your support, the most marginalised people are being supported to achieve greater wellbeing. One such person is Anthony**... <!-- --> Celebrating one year in a house One year ago, we were sharing the story of Anthony with you, as he moved out of emergency housing and in to his own home: One year later, Anthony is thriving in his whare and he has a part-time job! Anthony continues to pop in to DCM from time to time, and enjoys regular visits from Henry on DCM’s Aro Mai Housing First team. Anthony always keeps his place clean; he enjoys watching DVDs at home and has a group of local friends who he meets up with regularly. He has been opening up more to Henry – about his life and about his family. He is also managing his money well which enables him to retain his independence. While Henry sometimes asks him if he would like some food support, Anthony declines and is able to budget for this himself. Anthony is currently handwashing his clothes; we would love to be able to access a washing machine for him. If you can help please get in touch. Henry, from DCM's Aro Mai Housing First team, works closely with Anthony and supports him with regular home visits <!-- --> Samoan Language Week It is Samoan Language Week and we are asking our Samoan kaimahi to share a word each day. Here are a few of them: Sia: “Here at DCM, we are so fortunate to be part of something significant, something which creates real change. But this change happens in partnership with our taumai: tuku atu, tuku mai. In Samoan we say: tu’u atu, tu’u mai. We do it together.” Henry: "Mafutaga is a Samoan word which describes getting together, connecting. Here at DCM we offer a safe and supportive space for the most marginalised people to come together, to build connection and relationship with us, so that we can go forward together." Peni: "Fale – a house or home – that’s what it is all about. Having a place to call home. We urgently need more houses. We can offer landlords a 'no hassles' service - and you will be providing a fale for a person who really needs it. I would love to tell you more about this, so please do get in touch with me." <!-- --> Footnotes: *People supported by DCM in the first three months of 2020 and 2021 who have spent time during that period in emergency or transitional housing **Not his real name. <!-- --> Support DCM!

Article | About Tania & Our Whare
- Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
- <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Sitting on the floor of her room, Tania Thompson says she has been working on an art piece for her bedroom wall. The 58-year-old is fond of recycling and often sees the worth in what others have thrown away. The piece she is weaving comes from discarded thin, wooden planks she found around central Wellington. It’s been a while since Thompson had a place to call home, which she could decorate how she liked. For the past two years, Thompson has been couch-surfing, living in her cousin’s shed and on the streets of central Wellington. She’s one of 41,000 people who are homeless in New Zealand. This figure included people who were living out of cars and in garages. But for the past five months, Thompson has been living in transitional housing on Manners St, provided by Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust (WHWT). “I feel really safe and wish I had come here ages ago. I look forward to coming home," she said. <a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/125008567/wellington-homeless-womens-trust-tenant-looks-forward-to-coming-home" class="sqs-block-button-element--small sqs-button-element--tertiary sqs-block-button-element" target="_blank" > Full Article Permalink
