Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): The Government is working hard to rebuild public housing across New Zealand, including in Auckland. When we came into Government in 2017, there were 1,500 fewer public houses across New Zealand than there were a decade before. Since then, I'm pleased to report that we're starting to rectify this situation by rebuilding our public housing stock. Since coming to Government in 2017, we now have more than 8,000 additional warm, dry public housing places to call home. Over 6,500 of these are brand new builds and we're continuing to deliver more. In Auckland, I'm pleased to report we've exceeded our target, delivering 4,805 new public houses against the target set in the Public Housing Plan for 2018-2022 of 3,550 and there's still nearly a year to go.
