5150 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: Further to WPQ 611 (2026), of the $7 million allocated for 300 social housing places for people already receiving support through Housing First, how much had been contracted or spent as at 31 December 2025?

Hon Tama Potaka: As at 28 January 2026, there had been 159 Housing First placements into social homes made available following the announcement on 5 September 2025. This achievement saw around half of the $7 million committed.
