Our central offices are based in the suburb of Papanui. 

Marlborough

Blenheim has a chronic shortage of affordable housing. CMM supports clients in emergency accommodation in motels in Blenheim. Navigators work with clients to assist in their housing search, as well as link them to support services in the community. 

CMM offers transitional housing and support to whānau or individuals, in the form of both units and houses. CMM leases a number of houses in Blenheim for whānau who have become stuck in transitional housing.

Our services have ensured that vulnerable households at risk of losing their tenancy have kept their houses or found new housing that better meets their needs. As the lead agency of Housing First Blenheim, kaewa (people experiencing long-term homelessness) have been housed, with a large percentage remaining in their housing.
