Hi folks, after the devastating flooding caused by Cyclone Gabrielle in several areas around the Hawkes Bay and other parts of the East Coast of the North Island, there are hundreds of families displaced from their severely damaged homes.
They need to find places to live until their own homes can be cleaned up, repaired, or rebuilt, this obviously isn't a fast process and will take considerable time, some of these homes will likely never be rebuilt.
We are seeing a very dire need for more rental accommodation to become available to help house these people that now find themselves homeless.
Below is my plea to urge investors and other property owners who may own property in any of these cyclone affected areas that are being run as short-term stay, Airbnb etc, owners of personal holiday homes, second homes, lock and leave occasional homes or apartments, unoccupied minor dwellings or granny flats etc, please consider making these properties available on the normal rental market so that you can help house these people that have lost their own homes.
Please help share this video far and wide and lets try our very best to help boost the amount of rental accomadation available for these families in their time of need.
