How it started
What happened
The government directed MSD's housing provision efforts, leading to the implementation of a new housing scheme by MSD in June 2026. New figures released by Tama Potaka’s office showed that of the 325 households that exited immediate access transitional housing since the scheme began, only 19% went to long-term housing. Government figures indicated that 79% went to other destinations.

Why it matters
The government has tied MSD staff performance to reducing emergency housing use. The low rate of families moving to long-term housing raises concerns that more people could be sleeping rough, potentially increasing the demand for social services.
