Kia ora Julie
Here’s a copy of the PR. Minister Potaka approved Matt’s suggestions.
Hon Tama Potaka
Associate Minister of Housing
24 January 2025
Emergency Housing target achieved five years early
Ki te kahore he whakakitenga, ka ngaro te Iwi – without a vision, the people will
perish.
The Government has achieved its target to reduce the number of households in
emergency housing motels by 75 per cent five years early, Associate Housing
Minister Tama Potaka says.
The number of households in emergency housing motels:
At its peak: 4,983 in November 2021
December 2023: 3,141
In December 2024: 591
“Large-scale use of emergency housing was one of the biggest public policy failures
in the history of Aotearoa New Zealand. Under the previous government, many
thousands of New Zealanders were dumped in motel accommodation for months or
even years particularly in places like Hamilton,” Mr Potaka says.
“We campaigned on ending this disaster. When we came into office, we set a clear
target to reduce the number of households in emergency housing motels by 75 per
cent by 2030.
“Today we are proud to announce that this target has been achieved already, five
years early. This means thousands of tamariki who were previously consigned with
their whānau to grow up in dank motel rooms are now living in better homes. Homes
where they have a better opportunity for regular school attendance, to maintain
enrolment with local health services, and to enjoy all the other benefits of having a
stable home in a community.
“We know that long stays in emergency housing have disproportionately affected
Māori. Our Government is firmly committed to improving outcomes for Māori, and
our pursuit of this target means that more tamariki Māori will grow up in better living
conditions.”
The Government has achieved this by:
Implementing its Priority One policy which bumps families with children to the
top of the social housing waiting list once they’ve been in emergency housing
for 12 weeks or more,
Having a steady supply of social housing becoming available, with the addition
of 2650 Kāinga Ora homes to be delivered over the next couple of years,
A combined effort across agencies to work with people in emergency housing
to get them into stable housing including private rental homes.
“While the previous government only knew where about 50 per cent of those leaving
emergency housing were going, our Government has done the work to significantly
improve on this. As a result, we know that about 80 per cent of those leaving
emergency housing have moved to social, transitional, or private housing with some
kind of government support such as the Accommodation Supplement.
“Emergency housing will always be available as a last resort for those who need it,
and it’s important we continue monitoring the availability and use of emergency
housing to ensure we stay on target,” Mr Potaka says.
“We’ll continue to work with community groups, housing providers and local councils
to build on these gains making sure housing for all New Zealanders is a key priority.
The work we have been doing to get us to this point will continue and we will keep
actively monitoring and reporting on the target to ensure gains are sustained.
“Our achievement on this target so far is just the beginning. We now need to sustain
this progress over the long-term – to 2030 and beyond – to ensure households
continue to thrive in stable affordable homes they can sustain rather than being
stuck in emergency housing.
“Although we expect the numbers will continue to move up and down, the progress
we have made reflects this Government’s commitment to ensuring Kiwis are living in
quality housing and are not consigned to motel rooms.
“We’re increasing the supply of social housing and investing in more support
products and services to get people into stable housing, including private rentals.
This is better for whānau in the short and long term than emergency
accommodation.”

Hey Jared,
Thanks for your time on the phone just before.
Great work on this. Have just got a couple of things for your consideration.
1. Given the fluctuation of numbers when it comes to targets like this, it might be worth a like along the lines of… “
Although we expect this number will continue to move up and down, the
progress we have made reflects this Government’s commitment to ensuring Kiwis are living in quality housing and are not consigned to motel rooms.”
2. s9(2)(g)(i)
Something along the lines of… “
We know that long stays in
emergency housing have disproportionately affected Māori. Our Government is laser-focused on improving outcomes for Māori, and our relentless pursuit of this target means that more
tamariki māori will grow up in better living conditions.”
3. It’s probably a little on the long side. Just suggested a couple of parts below you could potentially drop. I think the part about people who don’t say where they are going could just be provided
reactively.

Kia ora tātou
Below is a PR highlighting our achievement of the government’s target to reduce emergency housing by 75 per cent by 2030.
As always, please just let me know any concerns – by 3pm today please.
I will send this out this evening under embargo. I will also send out a media advisory inviting media to a social housing development opening in Palmerston North tomorrow morning where we will do interviews
about this PR.
Hon Tama Potaka
Associate Minister of Housing
24 January 2025
EMBARGOED TO 10AM ON 24 JANUARY 2025
Emergency Housing target achieved five years early
Ki te kahore he whakakitenga, ka ngaro te Iwi – without a vision, the people will
perish.
The Government has achieved its target to reduce the number of households in
emergency housing motels by 75 per cent five years early, Associate Housing
Minister Tama Potaka says.
The number of households in emergency housing motels:
At its peak: 4,983 in November 2021
December 2023: 3,141
In December 2024: 591
“Large-scale use of emergency housing was one of the biggest public policy failures
in the history of Aotearoa New Zealand. Under the previous government, many
thousands of New Zealanders were dumped in motel accommodation for months or

“We campaigned on ending this disaster. When we came into office, we set a clear

“The remaining 20 per cent of people are not accessing any government housing
support and therefore are not obligated to tell us where they have moved to. It’s
important to remember that someone who has previously lived in emergency
housing for a time is still entitled to their privacy.
“Emergency housing will always be available as a last resort for those who need it,
and it’s important we continue monitoring the availability and use of emergency
housing to ensure we stay on target,” Mr Potaka says.
“We’ll continue to work with community groups, housing providers and local councils

The work we have been doing to get us to this point will continue and we will keep
actively monitoring and reporting on the target to ensure gains are sustained,” Mr
Potaka says.
“I’m proud of the start we’ve made to get people out of emergency housing. This
major progress shows the Priority One category we introduced back in April is
working well. We focused on getting families with children out of motel rooms and
into sustainable homes. Since being introduced in April 2024, 912 households
including 1,920 children, had been placed into Social Housing by December.”
The amount spent on emergency housing assistance has reduced from about $29
million for December 2023, to just $6.9 million for December 2024.
“We are committed to ending the large-scale use of Emergency Housing motels and
returning them to a rarely and briefly needed last resort. We’ve continued funding for
support services to help people identify alternatives to emergency housing and
established new financial products to support whānau.
“Our achievement on this target so far is just the beginning. We now need to sustain
this progress over the long-term – to 2030 and beyond – to ensure households
continue to thrive in stable affordable homes they can sustain rather than being
stuck in emergency housing.

Draft press release Emergency Housing Target
[Government housing target reached early]
Fewer New Zealanders are in emergency housing as the Government meets its 2030
Housing Target ‘Fewer than 800 households in emergency housing by 2030’, says
Associate Minister of Housing, Tama Potaka.
“Meeting this major milestone demonstrates our commitment to getting people into better
homes. By the end of November 2024, there were 798 households in emergency housing.
Compare this to November 2023, when there were 3,342 households in emergency ACT
housing (figures include Contracted Emergency Housing) – that’s nearly 80 per cent less.”
The amount spent on emergency housing assistance has reduced from about $29 million
THE
for December 2023, to just $5.647 million for November 2024.
“Through targeted investment, effective partnerships, and community driven solutions
we’ve been able to provide more long-term housing options for those most in need.”
“We know the job isn’t done yet. We’ll continue to work with community groups, housing
providers and local councils to build on these gains making sure housing for all New
Zealanders is a priority.”
UNDER
“I’m proud of the start we’ve made to get people out of emergency housing. When we
introduced the Priority One category back in April, we focused on getting whānau with
tamariki out of motel rooms and into sustainable homes. In April 2024, there were 3,189
tamariki in emergency housing, by the end of November there were 762 tamariki in
INFORMATION
emergency housing (figures include those in Contracted Emergency Housing). That’s
something to celebrate.”
“We also set clear expectations to ensure emergency housing is a last resort, for brief
stays for people in genuine need. We’ve continued funding for support services to help
people identify alternatives to emergency housing and established new financial products
to support whānau.”
RELEASED
“The Housing Target was just the beginning. We want people to be thriving in homes they
can sustain.
OFFICIAL
“We’ve increased the supply of social housing, invested in more support products and
services to get people into stable housing, including private rentals.
[UNCLASSIFIED]
“We know it’s harder for some people to maintain their housing, because of their complex
housing and support needs.
This is why we are trialing a social investment approach in Waikato and Wellington to
support single people and couples who don’t have children living with them, starting with
those who have been in emergency housing for more than 12 months. The two-year trial
will support up to 100 people, and contracted providers will offer tailored services and
support to help people to move into stable housing.

The number of households in emergency housing, where the main applicant is Māori, has dropped from 1,692 in
December 2023 to 420 in November 2024. However, the proportion of EH applicants who identify as Māori has
remained relatively the same with a slight increase from 60% in December 2023 to 64% in November 2024

# of households in EH where the main applicant is Māori in December 2023: 1,692 (60% of all EH
applicants)
# of households in EH where the main applicant is Māori in November 2024: 420 (64% of all EH applicants)
(Note: the above data is EH only and doesn’t include CEH)
A line or two on declines for FAQs/backpocket
Following the introduction of a new ruled-based approach the number of Emergency Housing applications declined has
increased.
MSD has been keeping a close eye on our frontline practice to ensure the EH Gateway changes are being implemented
in accordance with the government’s policy intent.
Changes made to the settings will help return Emergency Housing to its original intent as a last resort used for short
periods. If people have a genuine emergency housing need and continue to meet their responsibilities, they will
continue to be eligible for emergency housing support.
MSD’s practice and data capture in respect of EH declines has improved, with all applications now resulted in the
system, providing greater transparency for clients.
It is important to note the rate of emergency housing declines is influenced by the availability of alternative
accommodation such as transitional housing. Where there are more suitable alternatives that meet the person or
household’s needs, they will be declined EH and referred to that option.
Where people are declined emergency housing assistance MSD may be able to provide financial assistance, including
rent and bond support, to help people access and sustain suitable accommodation.
Where people disagree with the Ministry’s decision, including to decline EH, there are a number of avenues open to
clients to contest those including, the formal Review of Decision process, which provides a level of external scrutiny
over MSD’s decision making.
Thanks,
Elena
