Canterbury Temporary Accommodation Service

This service is available to those currently out of their homes and facing additional costs (e.g. run out of insurance accommodation money). It can also help find temporary accommodation for those now needing to move out. The following is from the website, which is here.

This service is for Canterbury homeowners who have had to leave their home as a result of the earthquake and now face additional accommodation costs.

Temporary Accommodation assistance can help with costs such as rent, board or motel stays.

Emergency accommodation services are currently being provided by Housing New Zealand. If you require support to locate emergency accommodation, or you have accommodation to offer, please call 0800 HELP 00 (0800 435 700) or visit www.housinghelp.govt.nz
