I know a homeless Maori family of 5 who have been struggling for about a year to find a house to rent and who currently sleep in tents in the park.
Like us, you may have a house with two or three spare bedrooms, but are concerned that if you let a family move in until they can find a more permanent place to rent, it could be a very long wait, and you are just not willing to make that kind of commitment or take such a risk.
Perhaps, if you were part of a group of 4 or 5 people or more who were willing to take turns for 2-4 weeks housing a family such as that above, you would be able to express your concern for the homeless in a really significant way.
Please contact me, David Kidd, at churchofgodslove4@gmail.com or 02041283124 if you do have spare bedrooms you might be prepared to rent short term, and would like to come to a meeting discussing how this idea could really work for the homeless.
WINTERS COMING, so please get back to me ASAP, so we can soon bring good news to a family, hopefully the one I mentioned above.
Please could you tell anyone you think might be interested.
Regards
David

There are 110 community boards in NZ. Tauranga has always dodged having to have one.
Boards are best described as grass roots local government.The job of the board members, who are elected every 3 years, is to represent and advocate for local needs and wishes. And, the council is bound by statute to pay attention!
You do not have to join boards; you are a part of them simply by being a member of the community.
Board members are not councillors and do not have a seat at the council table. However, they often take part in council deliberations that affect their community. They can actually play a meaningful part in the decision making process.
Boards are funded by the council and are provided with assistance from council staff where it is needed. The members also have access to council resources and information in a way that is not available to other community groups.
Tauranga residents are no longer represented by local councillors, they have no-one to speak on their behalf. And, this situation could possibly continue until 2025. We NEED community boards!
When the review proposal comes out in May or June, have your say:
TELL THE COUNCIL THAT TAURANGA RESIDENTS WANT COMMUNITY BOARDS.
