Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Associate Minister of Housing (Public Housing)): I can advise that the January data on the public housing wait-list will be available publicly and to the member and the House very soon. For some time the waiting list has shown that New Zealand is facing a severe housing shortage and more people—especially those with fewer resources—are asking for help. The Government has placed a strong emphasis on people coming forward and telling us if they need housing support, and doing everything we can to get a roof over their heads, and this is contributing to more people requesting help from the Government than under National.
