Bernie Smith: Social housing advocate on the sad situation of emergency motel housing
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays
Our emergency motel housing is being described as a sad situation, as the longest stay now stretches more than three years. Figures show more than a thousand people have stayed in them for longer than a year. In 2018, just three people had been in emergency motels for more than a year... but that number now sits at 12-hundred. Social housing advocate Bernie Smith says when National introduced emergency motels in 2017, it was intended as a temporary solution. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
