Another $14.5m down the drain, watch it disappear into admin costs and consultants.

as someone who volunteers at a shelter i can tell you this money is desperately needed. the homeless count is going up, not down.

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T01:53:52.000Z

yeah nah your heart's in the right place but i see how these grants get spent. it's a joke.

Why not just build more state houses? This is a bandaid solution and everyone knows it.

NZ Herald2026-06-17T02:10:52.000Z

Exactly. This govt is all talk no action when it comes to building actual homes.

Glad to see some funding go to the community groups who actually do the hard work. The real heroes.

get stuffed mate, the community groups are the only ones actually helping day to day

tbh this feels like throwing money at a problem without actually fixing the housing crisis. we need rent controls and social housing ffs

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T02:27:52.000Z

ok but something is better than nothing? these orgs are struggling without this money

Mason Young2026-06-17T02:20:52.000Z

What a load of crap. Just give them houses, not more paperwork.

Eva Anderson2026-06-17T02:56:52.000Z

facts. they're just kicking the can down the road till the next election

Meanwhile the minister is probably off having coffee with property developers. Same old story.
