“The last five years has seen the sector work together, alongside government to build a solid baseline. Continued
investment in public housing is welcome news and will enable better quality, long-term stable housing for all New
Zealanders. We’re eager to continue to work together with the Government on the important role that Community Housing
Providers play alongside Kāinga Ora in delivering against this plan.
“The Government’s continued investment gives headroom for new supply of critical housing stock to continue, and we’re
very supportive of this. We’re particularly pleased to see the boost to Māori Housing and acknowledge the work of Te
Matapihi. This has been a very effective programme and we know that when Māori thrive, we all do.
“The Affordable Housing Fund which was designed to support more affordable rental supply, however, has received
overwhelming demand, and we need to continue to invest in this system to provide more flexible and innovative funding.”
