That will be so important because of our next challenge: housing. Our response to COVID, on the face of it, had a very simple premise early on: stay home, save lives. But that simple, simple requirement forced us all as a country to ask a question: what if you don't have a home? The answer was simple: we will find you one. Through hard work and huge collaboration between Government, local government, iwi, and the community sector, that is exactly what happened. In the midst of this crisis, we have housed the chronically homeless in New Zealand, and now we need to keep it that way. In this Budget, we are announcing an extra 8,000 houses, providing $5 billion of construction stimulus into the economy over the next four to five years for public housing and transitional housing. When combined with what we have already funded, this takes the number of housing places for those who need homes to 17,000 public houses and transitional housing. This represents the largest public housing building programme in recent decades, and I hope it means that COVID-19 will be remembered as a period where New Zealand didn't just stay home; it made sure everyone had a home.
