The wait for a permanent home can lead to months, or even years, of limbo.Reid says the shame that comes alongside deprivation is something everyone in the motel feels, saying that she often shops early in the morning so fewer people see what she puts in her trolley.Kristina Reid hopes to one day live in a place her daughters can call home.For many people, motel accommodation is vastly preferable to living on the street or in a car.

“If you’re sleeping in motels that are unsafe for our people, that have allegations of sexual abuse, it might be better to stay in a car,” Waititi says. “They’ve got to stop pushing that rhetoric and start putting people in homes like they promised.” Living in motels is “revolting for families” and people should not be staying in them beyond a few days, she says. “But that’s just not realistic in the current system.”
