Thank you for your email received 19 June 2026 to Te Tûâpapa Kura Kâinga –
Ministry of Housing and Urban Development requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:

In relation to the social housing dashboard which reports:
Budget 2024: social housing
Proposed        392
Approved        1028
Delivered       45

please provide any documents which report the current construction status
of the approved places. I am interested in the number of approved homes
that do not yet have resource consent.

Your request has been forwarded to the appropriate officials to respond.
You may expect a decision regarding your request to be sent to you as soon
as possible, but no later than 20 working days from the receipt of your
request. If we're unable to respond to your request by then, we'll notify
you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

From 1 July 2026 the functions of the Ministry of Housing and Urban
Development will be transferred to the Ministry for Cities, Regions,
Environment and Transport (MCERT). Please be aware that the response to
your OIA request may come from MCERT and an email address ending in
@mcert.govt.nz.

I refer to your official information request for the construction status
of approved social housing places.

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision to Friday 31 July 2026.

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
