under unprecedented demand
Wellington's City Missioner says there is unprecedented demand for its emergency and transitional housing right now.
Wellington missioner Murray Edridge said on the ground the situation was dire.
"We're very full in our services, and we've got a cohort of people that are harder off than they've ever been.
"Our staff are stretched, it's not a disaster yet but we're doing the best we can in what are really difficult circumstances."
