Here are the notes took in our meeting with Michelle we had on our first week back:
-Theres a range of housing models for different needs
-Wet home model
- have to have the right kind of housing, (suitable for the specific person)
-They live with so much physical and mental pain (empathy is important)
-Liked the willingness we had to encorporate tikanga maori.
-a way of visibility of where DCM is/who they are (doesnt have to be at DCM)
-What if it was directed at Tau mai? Public see the effort to direct homeless to get help & improve their well being
-Liked that the 'community' aspect of DCMs name is actually a strength. It links with "together we can end homelessness" (the together actually references tau mai as well, not just the wellington public. it means they also want to help themselves, ki ta hoi
-ki ta hoi - pick up the paddle -> you can only help someone if they want to be helped -> support rather than help
-the absence of pain, reconnection with whanau helped to give them that push to want to pick up that paddle.
-if the right people support you, you can
-what is it that takes people to pick up the paddle
-the reason that they could take the paddle was they had the team to support them
-if installation is to do with tau mai picking up the paddle can help the public to understand what it is that DCM does
The way we could approach this project is in two parts:
Design:
-Dcm already has a plan to redo the website
-logo would take a while to get on board (has to be similar to old)
Awareness initiative:
-"we need more ongoing significant fundraisers for DCM - what will that look like?
-Donate your time, eg.move house golf lessons
-someone donates a service and someone buys that service
-all gardeners? gardening weekend (links to house) a weekend of doing what they can (event)
-donate a days hairdressing some skills (but limited) that can help DCM
-medical professionals (its easy to take what you can do (eg, eye doctor) to DCM)
- A Weekend a year where people auction skills. ending homelessness together for a weekend.
-Box to donate (online auction)
-give ideas of how facebook can be improved
-donate button
-twice a week come up with ideas for facebook (work in conjunction with matt) ->who knows what can and cannot be done
-te korowai (the cloak) te nui te whanau
-ki tahoe - picking up the paddle
- a journey always moing towards better wellbeing
