More than $5.6 million has been spent on emergency housing and special needs grants in Rotorua during the past three months - a jump of nearly $1 million compared with the previous three months. The spend is being described as out of control by Rotorua MP Todd McClay and will be one of the topics discussed at what is expected to be a heated public meeting on homelessness he is hosting in Rotorua on Monday.
Emergency housing grants fund people with no other housing options to go into places such as motels while special needs grants cover essential one-off spends.
