Salvation Army Supports Māori Housing Unit


16 NOV | 2018

The Salvation Army welcomes the announcment of a new Māori Housing Unit.


The Salvation Army supports the appointment of the Hon Nanaia Mahuta as new Associate Minister of Housing and Urban Development (Māori Housing) and the establishment of the unit as an valuable step to addressing the housing crisis.

Salvation Army Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit Director Lt Colonel Ian Hutson says Māori are disproportionately affected by the consequences of the housing crises and having a dedicated Minister and Unit will enable there to be a greater Māori focus on the housing issues Māori are experiencing. "Māori have been significantly affected in areas such as homelessness, overcrowded housing, sub standard and unhealthy accommodation, poverty created by high rental and other housing. The Salvation Army welcomes the idea of a Unit that enables Māori to identify the specific ways they are affected by the crisis and in participating in the process of addressing them."

Issued on the Authority of Commissioner Andy Westrupp (Territorial Commander)

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
