The series continues with Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust. Building a ‘‘climate-safe’’ house and creating local climate solutions are the top priorities for Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust. The trust is building a house for a Waitati resident who has been living in a garage and bus for the past two years since her house flooded, trust manager Scott Willis said. The trust leased the land off the resident to build the house, which she would rent when it was finished.
