DCM’s vision is for communities where whānau are housed, connected, valued, and thriving.
Sitting in the heart of Wellington at 2 Lukes Lane on the site of Te Aro Pā, the most marginalised people in our city come to us because they genuinely feel welcome and because what we do works and makes a difference in their lives.
Our practical programmes enable whānau to find and sustain housing, manage their money, access health services, and connect with their community and culture.
But we acknowledge that we can’t do this mahi alone, which is why our byline is “Together we can end homelessness”.
