    • Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
      • Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.

    • Eating our way through the recession
      • Remember a few months ago, when doom and gloom dominated the hospo news? Well, there certainly have been a lot of closures in central Wellington, but many of those places have re-opened, and we've even got a few brand-new bars and restaurants to celebrate.

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!

    • Azúcar / Sugar
      • What is the connection between sugar, colonisation, global trade and climate change? Azucar/Sugar is an explorative gallery experience that uses sugar sculptures, videos and digital art to trace how European and US conquest terraformed the environment from a living entity that encompassed the living spirits of the land, water, plants, animals and humans into an inert repository of resources to be harvested and harnessed for profit. Azucar/Sugar is the latest installation from With Lime, the long-standing collaboration between William Franco and Miki Seifert.

    • Civic Trust Award Winners
      • In the line of an old Abba song, The Winner takes it All, and so it was in the 2008 Wellington Civic Trust awards last night. A friendly Fish-monger sends in this report from the ceremony in Te Papa: The evening started off promptly, no time for drinkies (or Studio Pacific - who missed out on the news they had won the first prize of the evening by a good 5 minutes!), before leaping straight into the Awards ceremonies. First up was the award for best building in Wellington (constructed in the last 3 years).

line-height:150% !important; } } Marking milestones This year at DCM we are celebrating our 50th birthday – but that is not the only milestone we have marked this month Our inspirational director, Stephanie McIntyre, took up the role 15 years ago, in February 2004. 50 years ago, DCM was set up to support the most marginalised people in the city of Wellington (DCM's constitution). Under Stephanie's leadership, we have adopted the byline "together we can end homelessness" reflecting our current focus on one key marginalised group. How appropriate that we should mark Stephanie's anniversary with a morning tea at Te Hāpai (to lift up), the safe, welcoming space here at DCM for people who are experiencing homelessness. There we shared photos and memories from the last 15 years, and our taumai acknowledged the part Stephanie and DCM have played in lifting them up and supporting them on a journey to housing and greater wellbeing. We were very proud to acknowledge Stephanie as one of our featured supporters this month. At the morning tea celebrating her 15 years at DCM, Stephanie noted that Te Amo was the only person who had worked at DCM longer than her. Te Amo works in our Foodbank, breaking down items, re-stocking the freezers with bread, and generally keeping the DCM whare clean and tidy. <!-- --> Our Foodbank needs your support Another of the supporters we lifted up this month was Kaibosh, who supply a wide range of healthy, nutritious food for our taumai. Food rescue service Kaibosh provides quality surplus food three times a week to DCM, and as you can see it includes fresh veges, which is a welcome boost for the nutritional needs of taumai. In addition to food provided by Kaibosh, DCM's Foodbank relies on donated goods from the people of Wellington. The Foodbank has been busy lately, and we are very short of the following items: Tinned stews and ready meals Pasta and curry sauces Jam, honey, peanut butter Tinned fruit Soap, toilet paper, washing powder We would very much welcome your donations of food here at DCM, 2 Lukes Lane, week days or to our food donation bin at New World Chaffers any time. <!-- --> Our health volunteers The other key supporters we featured this month as “kaitautoko of the week” were our dentists. Oral health care is one of the most significant unmet needs of the people who DCM works with, the most marginalised people in our city. This group of amazing dentists from the Wellington branch of the NZDA volunteer their time so that our taumai can receive much needed emergency dental treatment and pain relief. At every session of the DCM Dental Service, we are reminded of just how significant this initiative is in enhancing the wellbeing of people in Wellington who are experiencing homelessness. Here are some examples of people who our dentists have supported recently. 'J' has been rough sleeping for some time. He came into DCM because he had tried to pull his own tooth out and left remnants behind, causing him further pain. He was seen by one of our dentists that day; he came back the next day pain free and ready to talk about his housing options.  'T' is a Māori man who has cycled in and out of homelessness over recent years. He is currently staying at the Night Shelter and has been taking pain relief for some badly infected teeth. He came in to DCM and was seen at the dental service. T needed a number of extractions, and the dentists recommended a second appointment at the DCM Dental Service. T has now been referred to Wellington Hospital; DCM staff will support him to connect with the hospital dental service to be fitted with dentures. The dental service has been important in continuing to build a strong relationship between DCM and T, to support our ongoing work to address his homelessness.    'H' is a daily visitor to Te Hapai. He is also profoundly deaf, and someone DCM staff have often struggled to communicate with. Last week he pointed to his teeth and we were able to make a dental appointment for him, writing the time down on an appointment card. We were unsure if he would remember, but he came to the appointment and was able to receive some much-needed treatment. He has been much more communicative and eager to engage with DCM since. The fourth supporter we featured this month was eye doctor Paul Herrick. He runs a monthly session here at DCM – each time he sees 10-15 taumai, some of whom leave that very day with a new pair of glasses and a whole new view of the world.
