Hon POTO WILLIAMS: On behalf of the Minister, the Government opened a $36 million community capability and resilience fund for community groups seeking funding for initiatives that support the rebuild and recovery from COVID-19 over the next two years. This fund has pivoted to provide immediate funding to support groups to respond to people in need in Auckland following the level 3 restrictions. Total funding of $900,000 has been approved already to enable providers to respond to the needs of the community. Those providers include 12 Māori community providers, four Pacific community providers, and two general community providers. This Government is committed to continuing to support the wellbeing of our people, our whānau, and our communities in alert levels 2 and 3, and this funding enables us to support locally led solutions.
