Transitional Housing

Housing Services

Comcare has had a long history of providing short term accommodation. In answer to a need identified following the Christchurch earthquakes, Comcare was contracted by the Canterbury District Health Board to provide short-term accommodation and support services for vulnerable individuals. Using this experience gained, we have been able to help address the housing need that is evidently a widespread issue. In recent years, Comcare has been contracted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the Ministry of Social Development to provide a Transitional Housing Service, offering short term furnished accommodation for up to 12 weeks whilst also providing housing support to find long term accommodation.

Comcare leases a number of properties to provide this service and receives referrals form the Ministry of Social Development.
