Nelson Tasman Housing Trust director Carrie Mozena talks about the huge need for housing in this Nelson Mail report on the growing demand for social housing.
"It is older people alone, solo parents or larger families. Some of them are living in cars, some of them are struggling in caravans at motor camps, some of them are in emergency housing paid for by the Ministry of Social Development; in backpackers or a hotel and many others are crowded in with friends or family.
"They are in insecure housing."
