Description
AWHI Healthy Homes Initiative is a free service for whānau living in the Counties Manukau area. We aim to support whānau to have a warm, dry, healthy home.
Kaiwhakamana and Kaiwhakatere (Navigators/Support Workers) will do a home visit to assess the home and identify areas that may need to be improved to make a warm, dry and healthy home. We commit to supporting and work alongside whānau throughout the process until it is complete.
The AWHI Healthy Homes Initiative offers support with:
- Social housing
- Access to financial support
- Insulation
- Heating
- Thermal curtains
- Ventilation
- Minor home repairs
- Private rental information
- Beds and bedding
- Practical advice to keep your home warm and dry
