Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): Budget 2020, in response to COVID-19, provided further funding of $200 million over two years to help social service organisations meet the need created by COVID-19 and to help plan for any resurgence. As a result of the recent alert level restrictions, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) have been checking in with social service organisations in Auckland to ensure they're well placed and able to meet the needs of their local communities. Some reported an increase in demand, but the majority stated that they were well resourced to meet that demand. There were a few who reported needing additional funding, mostly to meet food demand. MSD were able to provide this.
