    Dear Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities,
I request under the Official Information Act the following information:
If Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities produces or estimates the number of new houses and residential dwellings needed in each region.
How it works out this figure, given Statistics NZ does not forecast this.
If Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities does not work this out then how do they forecast demand and feedback into broader government policy settings on the demand side, such as planning and feeding back on immigration impacts on housing.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Irish

    Dear Mr Irish
 
We refer to your email of 17 May 2021 requesting under the Official
 Information Act 1982 (the Act) the following information:
 
·       If Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities produces or estimates the
 number of new houses and residential dwellings needed in each region.
 
·       How it works out this figure, given Statistics NZ does not
 forecast this.
 
·       If Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities does not work this out then
 how do they forecast demand and feedback into broader government policy

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is responsible for
 research and policy making, including demand-side modelling, for the
 residential housing market in New Zealand.
 
Following discussions, we have decided to transferred your request in full
 to HUD as the information you have requested is not held by Kāinga Ora but
 more likely to be held by HUD. In these circumstances, we are required by
 section 14 (b)(i) of the Act to transfer your request.
 
You will hear further from HUD concerning your request.
 
Yours sincerely
