Homeless and Vulnerable People

$4,445 of $105,000 goal
Given by 42 generous donors in around 3 months

Donations required to build 10 studio units that will provide transitional housing for our communities most vulnerable people.

Bay of Plenty

The Tauranga Moana Nightshelter Board of Trustees seeks to build transitional studio units for homeless men who are vulnerable and arrive to the shelter with high and complex needs. The studio units will be utilized by men who have worked tirelessly to make the necessary changes and accept the support required to end the cycle of homelessness. The men will exit the shelter environment into a self contained studio unit where they can have independence whilst still accessing support.

The studio units will free up 10 beds within the shelter environment which will allow 10 vulnerable people to access safe shelter and intensive support to end the cycle of homelessness.

This project is a collaborative community initiative including Tauranga Moana Nightshelter, Habitat for Humanity, Beca and BayTrust.

The Board of Trustees has applied for a low interest loan via BayTrust however must raise additional funds towards the capital works in order to progress this much needed initiative.

Please help us to help the most vulnerable people in our community to access housing, support and their most basic of human rights.

Should the project not go ahead for any reason we will advertise this through TMNT facebook page. In that case your donation can be diverted to the shelter operation or refunded to you on your request.
