Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
Providing transitional housing and individualised support services to homeless wāhine in the Wellington region.
This month marks the beginning of a six-part article series that shines a light on the realities of wāhine experiencing homelessness in Aotearoa.
What if we told you that homelessness isn’t just those who sleep rough on the streets??
Homelessness is a byproduct of greater issues and it can present in many forms. Currently, a significant number of wāhine are experiencing it in the shadows of our community.?
The stats around wāhine and homelessness are multifaceted conversations, affecting our tamariki and our broader communities more than you may realise.
In 2023, we believe the number of wāhine who are homeless is on the rise.
“We see this every day in the overwhelming demand for our services, our whare is full with a waitlist that is growing day-by-day.” says Hiria Tareha, General Manager at Wellington Homelesss Women’s Trust.??
