About Us
Christchurch Collective for the Homeless Charitable Trust (CCftH) started as a Hui initiated service in July 2015.
We offer strengths-focused mentoring, advocacy and support for people experiencing homelessness.
We provide one to one support that seeks to empower clients and their whānau.
Over the years we have helped hundreds of whanau get into homes, and provided support post housing to ensure whanau are enabled to achieve the best outcomes for their health and well-being.
We facilitate hui to ensure the voices of people who are homeless are heard by agencies, government departments, to adapt their services to meet the needs of our homeless whānau.
We provide a holistic service where we look at the reasons for homelessness.
We understand the importance of helping whānau and their community to reconnect.
Our Services
Advocacy & Support
There are a lot of reasons for homelessness. Significant issues such as not having sufficient identification i.e birth certificates or an address or bank account to receive government aid.
Our team of Whanau Ora Kaituwhana support whanau to navigate barriers preventing them from achieving stability and well-being.
We often work with other community organisations and government agencies to address a variety of issues negatively impacting on whanau.
Weekly Breakfast
We provide breakfast every Tuesday at Margaret Mahy Playground, at the BBQ area.
When available, we also give out donated food and resources.
There is a friendly family atmosphere, and all are welcome.
Christmas Hui
Every year we have a Xmas Hui for our whanau, where christmas lunch is served by our wonderful team of volunteers, staff and helpers.
This is funded by the generous support received from sponsors of the Trust.
