Fifty people attended the forum to debate new Government housing funds. They said there was a big, unmet demand for single and supported accommodation, especially for people on low incomes, people with disabilities, mental illnesses or drug and alcohol issues. This was supported by a recent Palmerston North City Council survey on housing.
