29097 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Minister of Housing: How many of the 674 households the 17 June 2026 announcement states were moved into stable housing since September 2025 have since returned to rough sleeping or other forms of homelessness, if any?
Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that the vast majority of households have remained stably housed, with around 15 of the 300 new social housing places having turned over tenancies to date. Households are under no obligation to tell MSD or providers where they are moving to when they leave the service, and of the households that left the service, some may have exited into other suitable long-term accommodation.
