flag 78% of New Zealanders back state housing to fix shortages, as government delays block nearly 3,500 homes.

flag A new poll shows 78% of New Zealanders support large-scale state housing construction to ease the housing crisis and create jobs, with strong backing across political lines and 93% in Southland. flag The National-led government has stalled or canceled 213 Kāinga Ora projects, preventing nearly 3,500 homes and contributing to a shrinking construction workforce and severe housing shortages, especially in Southland where state housing is now just 1% of the stock. flag Critics say the shift to private and community providers without direct funding undermines affordable housing efforts, prompting nationwide campaigns to revive state housing.
