Native Affairs Summer Series 2014 - Baby in Car

When you're homeless, sometimes a car is the next best thing.

That's been the case for a number of young pregnant mums living in Auckland.

Homeless shelters and emergency housing centres say they're at crisis point.

While an Auckland council report shows around 15,000 people in Auckland are quote "severely housing-deprived".

Semiramis Holland investigates why some people have become so desperate.

Semiramis joins Mihingarangi Forbes in studio to provide an update on the Auckland housing crisis and what it means for the most vulnerable.

She also provides an update on the mum who featured in the story and how she and her young family are doing now.

Below is the full episode this year which initially featured this story.
