Iwi owned housing

[Lilith7]

Unfortunately those who are in power, some of whom have even said they have already got it made, Luxon, are still continuing to money grub and don't want to stop and make decisions which would help those in the country in a lower socioeconomic group, the attitude is that everyone is on their own and devil take the hindmost, and if they are down on money then it is their own fault and they are probably lazy.

Luxon and others are just helping their mates in the old boys club just as they always have done which reinforces the inequalities between the rich and the poor and exacerbates the historic problem of unequal sharing of the riches in the country by the management system being tweaked to favour the privileged which they do quite willingly and without conscience as a right they have claimed as their own.

pretty sure jacinda is a multi millionaire now, she got her share of the riches

all housing costs money in fact social housing probably costs more per m2 than a "normal" house build

who actually paid for the iwi housing? not saying its not a good idea but considering the amount of taxpayer money getting into the hands of iwi leaders there shouldn’t be a homeless Maori in NZ

Housing in NZ should,imo be made a priority. It was not always like this. It does not have to be like this.


Other countries have done & so could we. If a govt wanted to. If a govt wasn't hell bent on imposing yet more cruel, greed based Neo Liberalism.
Finland managed it.

"What is Housing First?

Housing First means ending homelessness instead of managing it. The basic idea is to offer permanent housing and needs-based support for homeless people instead of temporary accommodation in hostels or in emergency shelters. Permanent housing means an independent rental flat with own rental contract.
In Housing First people do not have to earn their right to housing by proving their capability to manage their lives. Instead, they are provided with a stable home and individually tailored support.

How has it worked in Finland?

Since 2008 the national homelessness strategy in Finland has been based on the Housing First model, as a result of dedicated cooperation between the state, municipalities and NGOs.
Investments have been made to provide affordable housing and shelters have been converted into supported housing units. New services and methods of help have been developed to match the multiple needs of individual tenants.
Finland has all but eradicated rough sleeping and sustainably housed a significant number of long-term homeless people. Finland is the only country in Europe where the number of homeless people has declined in recent years."
