Need somewhere to live? Or have a place to house people?
A home is a place where we can feel safe, secure and stable.
With many properties in Piha receiving a red placard, it is important that we help each other find places to live. Whether that’s for just right now or for the long term.
If you have a house available that displaced people can live in or if you are looking for a short-term or more permanent home, join the Piha Homes2Help Facebook group.
This group is to match people who have homes with people who need them.
If you don't have Facebook, call 0278 082 383 to let us know about what you are looking for with accommodation options.

Ministry of Business, Employment and Innovation (MBIE) has activated its Temporary Accommodation Services (TAS) following the floods and Cyclone Gabrielle.
TAS assists households affected by a natural disaster to find safe, secure and accessible temporary accommodation while their home is being repaired or rebuilt.
If you were living in a property when it was damaged by natural disaster and need help to find somewhere to live while your home is repaired or rebuilt, TAS coordinators can connect you to services and resources to help get you back on your feet.
People in Auckland affected by Cyclone Gabrielle can register with the Temporary Accommodation Service (TAS) on 0508 754 163. TAS will be in contact within five days to understand people’s needs.
It is important to register with TAS as soon as possible – either via the website or over the phone. A matching and placement coordinator will assess your needs and arrange suitable accommodation support.
