Providing housing for those most in need

The National-led Government has accepted recommendations made by the Housing Shareholders Advisory Group which will see key changes in the way social housing is delivered.

Providing housing for those most in need, for the duration of that need, is the main driver behind accepting the recommendations. Housing New Zealand Corporation will work more closely with non-government affordable housing suppliers such as the Salvation Army, introduce renewable tenancies for new tenants, manage the housing portfolio to match future demand, and merge policy responsibility with the Department of Building and Housing.

These changes are the first steps towards providing sustainable state housing for those most in need, while they need it.
