Dunedin woman's future uncertain after house red stickered

A Dunedin solo mum is at breaking point, with her family spread across three temporary homes, after her Clyde Hill house was red stickered following the flood earlier this month. Krystal Brens' house has pile damage and is on a slip that is still moving. She has shared custody of three daughters aged 9 to 14 years old, but they're having to stay full time with their dad at the moment, while Krystal is staying with friends and the family dog is farmed out yet somewhere else. Her Clyde Hill house is insured but the cost of alternative accommodation is capped and she could be out of her home for a year or more. To complicate things further, because the damage's been done by a slip, it falls under the Natural Hazards Commission, not private insurance. Krystal Brens spoke to Lisa Owen.
