flag Over 1,000 remain homeless in New Zealand despite new housing units, sparking opposition to forced relocation plans.

flag Over 1,000 people remain homeless in New Zealand despite adding 300 Housing First units, according to the government’s Housing Dashboard. flag Leading housing groups oppose proposed “move-on” powers that would force homeless individuals to relocate, calling the measures ineffective and discriminatory. flag They argue such enforcement fails to address root causes like housing shortages, affordability, and systemic inequities, particularly for Māori. flag Instead, they urge a housing-led approach emphasizing Housing First, kaupapa Māori models, mental health services, and stronger iwi partnerships, stressing that lasting solutions require systemic investment, not punitive actions.
