27954 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Housing: Further to reply 19839 (2026), is the Minister aware that on 13 May 2026 a Manager Client Services Delivery in the Canterbury Region advised external stakeholders in writing that a New Brighton accommodation provider's approach to become an Emergency Housing supplier had been declined because the Ministry is "at capacity for Emergency Housing suppliers" and because the provider "does not meet the criteria"?

Hon Tama Potaka: As the Associate Minister of Housing, I do not involve myself with operational matters.
