Homelessness under Jacinda Adern; the reality

I don't much care for the source but the information speaks for itself.  It demonstrates that things are getting worse, despite government spin.

Homelessness four times as great as in 2017

In September 2017 there were 4,054 on the Priority A waiting list for Housing NZ. These are families who have been assessed as in urgent need of a house.

Labour said 4,054 was a scandal. They said they wanted to abolish homelessness.

In June 2020 there are now 16,651 families on the Priority A waiting list. As Labour has heaped costs on landlords, rents have skyrocketed and the end result is a 400% increase in those deemed in urgent need of housing.
