YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

Qurat from Avondale

🏡The housing and homelessness crisis across Auckland affects us all. Whether you're worried about how your family and friends are affected by housing issues, concerned about rising rates of homelessness, or if you've ever struggled to find suitable or affordable housing - YOUR perspective is crucial.


Have your say on housing and homelessness in Auckland. Housing First Auckland is hosting Focus Groups where your voice can help shape future messaging, public campaigns, and influence key decision makers.

This is your chance to:
📣 Influence how housing and homelessness issues are communicated
🗣️ Share your real experiences and concerns
📣 Help create messages that speak to everyday Aucklanders
🗣️ Be part of meaningful solutions

Spots are limited, so don’t miss out. You’ll receive a $50 Prezzy card voucher for participating.

Check the flyer for full details. We're looking for community voices, not sector insiders - anyone who currently works or has worked in housing or homelessness support is not eligible to participate, sorry.

Ready to make your voice heard? Register now! See QR code 👇🏼 to register or email us (info@housingfirst.co.nz) and we’ll send you the link to register.
P.S. Please help us and share this post far and wide across your socials and with your Auckland-based friends and family 🙏

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
