正在鼓励受目前COVID-19警戒级别影响的Whénau和社区获得社会发展部和Whénau Ora提供的支持。  社会发展部长卡梅尔·塞普洛尼说:”政府正在继续艰难而早地采取行动,从我们的社区中撤出COVID-19。这包括与社会服务、社区、iwi 和 Whénau Ora 组织密切合作,这些组织最有能力应对受当前警报级别变化影响的社区的需求。社会发展部(MSD)与全国各地的社会服务提供者保持联系,并就谁可以在4级警戒级别开展业务、如何在公共卫生准则的范围内安全地开展这项工作提供了指导。  我们密切关注的一个领域是食品库,以确保它们能够将食物发放到脆弱的瓦瑙和社区。政府向新西兰粮食网络提供了进一步的资金,以支持全国各地的区域粮食中心。虽然人们可以通过工作和收入获得食品的财政援助,但他们也可以通过当地超市及其优先援助服务进行在线订购和安排。  MSD 正在做出改变,以便为需要帮助和支持的人员提供尽可能无缝的帮助。例如,推迟对客户情况的审查,简化申请和验证流程,并取消现有客户提供医疗证明以继续其获得主要福利资格的需要。一般查询电话线的营运时间亦于本周末延长。  虽然 MSD 的服务中心在 4 级警戒级别关闭,但人们可以通过 MyMSD 或致电 0800 559 009 继续联系。客户已收到电子邮件,向他们保证定期付款将继续”。  惠瑙奥拉佩尼赫纳雷部长说:”瓦瑙奥拉供应商网络再次无缝地加强,以支持Whénau及其社区。在我们早期的锁定期间,Whénau Ora 提供商网络在帮助惠瑙提供 kai、供暖、通信、连接和其他支持方面做得非常出色。他们再次动员起来,在一夜之间为穿越莫图的whénau提供支持”。   8月21日,星期六上午8时至下午5时·     8月22日星期日上午9时至下午1时,紧急食品需求,如果您的情况紧急,并且在接下来的 24-48 小时内需要食物,您可以联系当地的食品银行。查找新西兰各地的食品银行和其他食品援助服务。 对雇主和企业的援助:  2021年8月的工资补贴计划可供符合条件的企业继续向雇员支付工资并维持其继续工作。补贴为期两周,全职员工每周支付600纽币,兼职员工每周支付359纽币。申请从8月20日星期五上午9点开始开放两周。·      短期缺勤付款为因 COVID-19 测试而需要缺勤且不能在家工作的员工提供一次性(每 30 天一次)付款。·      休假支助计划为必须自我隔离和不能在家工作的工人提供为期两周的一次性付款。瓦瑙奥拉联系人:·      瓦瑙奥拉委托机构(北岛)电话: 0800 929 282, 瓦纳乌拉新西兰·      特佩塔希坦加奥特威普纳穆(南岛)电话 0800 187 689, te pūtahitanga.org·      帕西菲卡期货电话: 0800 890 110, pasifikafutures.co.nz  主要联系人:  . MSD: 0800 559 009·      社区服务目录:https://www.familyservices.govt.nz/directory/·      青年线: 0800 376 633·      健康热线: 0800 611 116  如果您遇到家庭暴力,请拨打 111 报警,如果您有危险,或致电妇女避难危机: 0800 733 843 – 24小时·      家庭暴力信息热线: 0800 456 450·      闪亮国家帮助热线: 0508 744 633 – 上午 9 点至晚上 11 点·      沙克提 – 移民和难民妇女: 0800 742 584 – 24 小时·      虐待老人求助热线: 0800 32 668 65 – 24小时

Support available for whānau and communities affected by COVID-19 Whānau and communities affected by current COVID-19 alert levels are being encouraged to access support available through the Ministry of Social Development and Whānau Ora. “Government is continuing to move hard and early to stomp out COVID-19 from our communities,” Minister for Social Development Carmel Sepuloni said. “This includes working closely with social service, community, iwi and Whānau Ora organisations who are best placed to respond to the needs of their communities impacted by the current alert level change.” “The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) remain in contact with social service providers across the country and have provided guidance around who can operate at Alert Level 4, how to do this safely and within the boundaries of public health guidelines. “One area we’re keeping a watchful eye on is foodbanks to ensure they’re able to get food out to vulnerable whānau and communities. Government has provided further funding to the New Zealand Food Network to support regional food hubs across the country. “While people can get financial assistance for food through Work and Income, they can also make online orders and arrangements through local supermarkets and their Priority Assistance Service. “MSD are making changes to make things as seamless as possible for people needing assistance and support. For example, deferring reviews of clients’ circumstances, streamlining application and verification processes, and removing the need for existing clients to provide medical certificates to continue their eligibility for a main benefit. Operating hours for the general enquiries phone line has also been extended this weekend. “While MSD’s service centres are closed at Alert Level 4, people can continue to get in touch through MyMSD or by phoning 0800 559 009. Clients have been e-mailed to reassure them regular payments will continue.” Carmel Sepuloni said. Minister for Whānau Ora Peeni Henare said the Whānau Ora provider network have once again seamlessly stepped up to support whānau and their communities. “During our earlier lockdowns, the Whānau Ora provider network did an amazing job to help whānau with kai, heating, communications, connectivity and other supports. They have again mobilised to provide support to whānau across the motu overnight.” Peeni Henare said. MSD’s operating extended hours this weekend: ·       Saturday 21 August: available 8am – 5pm·       Sunday 22 August: available 9am – 1pm Urgent food needs: If your situation is urgent and you need food within the next 24-48 hours, you can contact a local food bank. Find food banks and other food assistance services across New Zealand Assistance for employers and businesses ·       The Wage Subsidy Scheme August 2021 is available to eligible businesses to continue paying their employees and keep them on.
