Elders in the Far North Not Living, Just Surviving | The Hui 2024

Kaumātua in the Far North face a brutal winter. Some are homeless, without power, heat, or running water, but are suffering in silence in a situation that is life-threatening. How can conditions which have become normalised be turned around, and the elderly provided with a warm, safe roof over their head? Community board member Roddy Pihema is raising the issue. Mangamuka resident Te Enga Harris and Riria Reid live on the land. Hori Tane, Ngāpuhi Holdings, shows the new social housing built in Kaikohe. This story first aired on 24/6/2024.

Made with the support of Te Māngai Pāho and NZ On Air.
