they’re wondering where to turn next after a month in temporary accommodation.

The Waipatu Marae has become a refuge; a month on from Cyclone Gabrielle, there are still 25 whānau members living at the marae.
Tane Tomoana has been assisting whānau with accommodation since the cyclone and said they lacked clear direction for the next steps.
