Street View: Do you think local marae should take responsibility for housing the homeless?

Betty Dunn

Yes, they should. But I think that everyone should have some responsibility for helping homeless people, especially the government.

Yes, why not? They have the space for it, but the government should be doing more about it too.

A bit of both - marae and the government. I think a joint effort would help.

Yes. Because they can't end up on the street and if the government is not going to help them then the community should help out and try to give them a place to stay.

It's up to each marae I suppose. It's a nice thing to do as long as the marae can afford it.
