‘Poverty in Canterbury Today’ is a new report documenting the nature and extent of poverty in the Canterbury district.
The aim of the study was to gather evidence about the lived experience of poverty, to draw together data about patterns of poverty and to make recommendations for actions to alleviate hardship and reduce the numbers of people living in poverty in the district.
CHAC’s work - providing help and advice to people who have housing problems or who are at risk of becoming homeless - is referenced on pages 21 and 22 of the report, accompanied by three case studies drawn from CHAC’s most recent Annual Report.
