Emergency housing has been described as dangerous and terrifying for some, with families mixed in with gang members and many places rife with crime and intimidation.
Official documents show ministers were warned about the "risks to public safety" in Rotorua a year ago, and that week-by-week motel accommodation is not so suitable for families, or those with high needs.
One Auckland charitable trust says some residents are especially vulnerable to sexual violence, which may only become apparent in years to come.

One Auckland charitable trust says some residents are especially vulnerable to sexual violence, which may only become apparent in years to come.
Causing further consternation is the Social Development Ministry's approach of leaving it up to the moteliers to make sure there's no violence, harassment or criminal behaviour, and only responding once an incident has occurred.

New Auckland-based charity helping survivors escaping domestic abuse

And now she's giving hope to other Kiwis like her by filling empty houses with everything from furniture and food to pots, pans, toys and toiletries.
"One family we did, the little girl was that morning crying to her mum that 'this is just a box and it's not a home' but by the time she came home that day it was a home," she says.
Everything is donated and everything has a back story. Like a toy kitchen from a family in Hobsonville or a lace Christmas tree made by a knitting group on the Hibiscus Coast.
Island Child Charitable Trust is one of the many housing agencies Woven Earth works with.
