Transitional Housing
Transitional Housing provides a 3-month stay, giving whānau and He Korowai Trust the opportunity to develop a more sustainable, long-term housing plan. This programme offers three types of living arrangements: Tiny Homes, individual rooms with ensuites, and houses for whānau with two or more tamariki.
A key component of the programme is participation in the Kai Co-operative, which costs $70 per week for 21 nutritious meals over 7 days. This co-operative fosters community engagement and ensures whānau receive healthy, wholesome food during their stay.
Referrals can be made through the Ministry of Social Development or by contacting He Korowai Trust directly to discuss your circumstances. We are happy to assist you with the referral process and provide further information.
The cost of Transitional Housing is 25% of your weekly income. For example, if your weekly income is $200, you will pay $50 per week for accommodation ($200 ÷ 4). There are additional costs for meals and linen. Meals, which include three daily nutritious options, cost $70 per week, and linen supply and washing is $15 per week per person.
To access Transitional Housing, you must be currently experiencing homelessness, either in the community or while staying with whānau. If you meet this criterion, we encourage you to get in touch with us to explore your housing options and receive support in finding a more permanent solution.
