Do you know how many Kāinga Ora homes were vacant late last year?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

While 1698 people waited for public housing in Hamilton, there were 147 empty Kāinga Ora homes in the city.

The figures from late 2023 “astounded” Hamilton West National MP Tama Potaka - who labelled the city “the epicentre of emergency housing” - and Mayor Paula Southgate is calling for urgent government action.

But Kāinga Ora says the number of vacant homes has since dropped to 34, and there’s a focus on replacing older houses on big sections with multiple homes.

I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
