Blood, faeces, vomit and cockroaches - inside Aotearoa’s emergency housing crisis

Tova - A podcast by Stuff Audio - Thursdays

Almost 6500 people live in emergency motels, nearly half of them children. One mother, who needs short-term help through no fault of her own, offers a frontline perspective after rejecting a filthy motel, and questions whether vulnerable people are expected to settle for whatever they’re given. We track down the motelier and get the inside running from the Government on their plans for emergency housing.
