Atareira Transitional Housing has been responding to the needs of homeless people in Wellington since 2003.  We provide short-term transitional housing and support to individuals and families that are temporarily experiencing homelessness.  Included in our support is help to find sustainable housing. 

While staying in a Transitional Housing home, residents take care of their own basic living needs, including:
- personal hygiene
- cleaning and cooking
- transport etc

Staff will work alongside residents to develop a Housing Action Plan which includes working towards finding future accommodation.​

We encourage residents to link in and receive support from other services while with Atareira Transitional Housing.
