Whatever It Takes Trust [WIT] is a community-based, peer support service organisation for mental health consumers who live in Hawkes Bay. We operate a range of services to assist mental health consumers with tasks of daily living and anything else they may need to help them move towards wellness and independent living in our communities.
One of the services that has evolved at WIT over the last 18+ years is the provision of social housing. We currently have 60 properties rented out to our clients to provide them with safe, affordable housing and WIT is now a Registered Social Housing Provider with WINZ.
WIT also operates an Outreach Centre for the homeless and rough sleepers in Napier and WIT now provides Transitional Housing for these clients.
