A Tauranga trust which already provides emergency accommodation for 110 families has unveiled aspirations for a multimillion-dollar village for the homeless.
Te Tuinga Whanau Support Services executive director Tommy Wilson said the trust was looking
to partner with local iwi or Māori organisations with land available for the village.
The village would have a kohanga reo (early childhood centre), a garden, a wānanga (place to learn) which would include learning life-skills as well as skills to get people into jobs.
