Black Power family forced to live in Mongrel mob territory

From Morning Report, 7:15 am on 30 August 2023

A Hawkes Bay Black Power family has complained it was forced to live in Mongrel mob territory because of a shortage of temporary housing.

The Black Power family of five lost its home when the Tutaekuri River burst its banks and after applying for help it was found a house by the Temporary Accommodation Service.

But one thing that's not on the application form for a home, is gang affiliations.

Kate Green has the story.
