  • Homes Not Cars

    July 09, 2017 11:04 AM
    The Green Party has a plan to build hundreds of state homes to help deal with the emergency housing crisis facing thousands of vulnerable New Zealanders right now. The Green Party plan would allow Housing New Zealand to retain its dividend and, in addition, would refund its tax, freeing up $207 million in the next financial year to spend on the emergency building of around 450 new state homes. Despite New Zealand being one of the wealthiest countries in the...

  • Home For Life

    June 23, 2017 9:54 AM
    Our Home for Life plan will help New Zealanders get into their own homes by establishing a rent-to-buy programme and by creating new opportunities for community housing providers to play a bigger part in solving the housing crisis. This will give more New Zealanders a fair shot at owning their own home – even when the market is stacked against them – and make sure the community housing sector has the financial and political support to help solve the housing...

  • Another winter of homelessness under National

    June 01, 2017 11:31 AM
    With 3,422 people urgently waiting for a place to live and 1,805 empty state homes, New Zealand is heading into another winter of homelessness under National, the Green Party said today. “Last winter New Zealanders were shocked at the extent of homelessness and after a year of the National Government rushing around trying to look like it’s tackling the problem, things are actually getting worse,” said Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei. “The tragic truth that we’re hearing from the people...

  • Official advice shows rents could rise following Budget

    May 29, 2017 9:52 AM
    Raising the Accommodation Supplement could push rents up as more than a billion dollars flows from the Government’s accounts to landlords over the next few years, according to official advice from the Treasury and DPMC, the Green Party said today. In a report to the Prime Minister from the last time National considered raising the Accommodation Supplement, officials advised that ‘There is a risk that the increased subsidy will lead to an increase in rents.’ This is because landlords may raise...

  • National’s housing policy too little, too late

    James Shaw May 16, 2017 2:12 PM
    After years of denying there is a housing crisis and refusing to see government building as a solution, National’s U-turn today is too little too late, the Green Party said today. “Auckland is already 40,000 homes short and needs 15,000 more a year just to keep up with population growth. National’s new policy to build an additional 26,000 homes over the next decade just isn’t enough to fix the problem,” Green Party Co-leader James Shaw said. “It’s taken until election...

  • Kids in rental homes need stability

    Metiria Turei May 12, 2017 11:48 AM
    Tenancy rules need updating to give families more stability to put down roots in their communities, the Green Party said today. Data released today from the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study highlights that almost half the children in the study live in rental homes. Renters tend to move more than home-owners, which can make it hard for families to plan for early childhood and primary education. “Families need housing stability so they can put down roots in their...

  • Broken housing market at the heart of unbalanced economy

    James Shaw May 04, 2017 11:58 AM
    New data shows rising rents are hitting people on modest incomes and beneficiaries in the pocket, while the cost of living for wealthier households is more manageable, the Green Party said today. In the last three months, the cost of living rose 1.4 percent for beneficiaries and 1.3 percent for low expenditure households, compared to just 0.5 percent for high expenditure households, according to the Statistics NZ Household Living Costs Price Index. “Under National, it’s getting harder for people on...

  • Report strengthens case for Green housing policy

    April 12, 2017 9:47 AM
    The Green Party’s Home for Life Policy is a way to achieve the social and economic gains of getting people into their own homes, outlined in a new report by the New Zealand Housing Foundation and BERL Economic Research released today. Green Party policy would see thousands of families buy their own affordable home through a progressive ownership rent-to-buy programme. “Home ownership is out of reach for too many working families, and it’s time to turn that around with a...

  • Tāmaki residents deserve stability, not social housing sales

    Marama Davidson March 21, 2017 10:35 AM
    Plans to sell the Tāmaki Housing Association, possibly to overseas buyers, create uncertainty for thousands of Auckland families who have already had their lives and homes shaken up by the Government’s social housing fiasco, the Green Party said today. “We have a housing crisis and the number one priority should be increasing the supply of affordable, state, and community housing, not selling off social housing services,” said Green Party social housing spokesperson Marama Davidson. “People living in Tāmaki and Glen...
