Kia ora Chris,

 

Thank you for your follow-up questions.

 

Government-funded emergency housing in New Zealand is administered by Work
and Income, who are an organisation within the Ministry of Social
Development. They also look after the granting and payment of most
benefits, supplements and other subsidies for private accommodation to
those in need.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment is not aware of any
people unlawfully in New Zealand who are receiving support with
accommodation from Work and Income, however you may wish to ask them this
directly via [1][email address].

 

I hope this information is helpful.

 

Ngâ mihi nui,

 

Jesse
