Social housing objectives
Margaret Mechum made this Official Information request to Minister for Social Housing
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Margaret Mechum to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Margaret Mechum
Dear Minister for Social Housing,
In December 2014, Cabinet agreed a set of objectives for the SHRP. They are to:
a. ensure that people who need housing support can access it and receive social
services that meet their needs;
b. ensure that social housing is of the right size and configuration, and in the right
areas, for those households which need it;
c. help social housing tenants to independence, as appropriate;
d. encourage and develop a more diverse ownership of social housing, with more
innovation and responsiveness to tenants and communities; and
e. help increase the supply of affordable housing, especially in Auckland.
I request, under the Official Information Act 1982, to know how the Minister defines 'innovation and responsiveness to tenants and communities' with respect to objective d. If particular documents or speeches set out the definition, or elements of the definition, I request these documents also.
Yours faithfully,
Margaret Mechum
