A Place to Stay Awhile...
"The story is primarily that of how the country tried to alleviate a domestic housing crisis that had come to a head due to the war. 'Transit housing,' by common understanding at the time, was supposed to be the provision of extremely limited stop-gap terms of tenancy where tenants were selected from a waiting list. The units they resided in were sub-standard accommodation usually adapted from other uses such as military barracks"--Introduction.

A Place to Stay Awhile
From out of the housing crisis towards the end of the Second World War, Auckland City's mayor John Allum came up with the idea of turning former military camps into transit housing, filling the gap between inadequate slum areas and better homes provided by the government schemes, amongst others. The idea took hold nationwide for a time, until the crisis eventually eased. Today, hardly anything remains. A Place to Stay awhile details the stories and the lives at Auckland's five transit housing camps, at Mt Victoria in Devonport, Western Springs, Victoria Park, the Auckland Domain, and Camp Bunn near Panmure, as well as Transit Camps in other areas of New Zealand.
