30560 (2023). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Housing: How many people are on the social housing waiting list in Lower Hutt during the week of Monday 11 December 2023?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) that the standard reporting period is month end and quarter end. Month end includes regional data and quarterly includes breakdown to Territorial Local Authority. I therefore refer the member to the number of applicants in Lower Hutt on the Housing Register as at 30 September 2023 broken down by Territorial Local Authority at the following link: https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/statistics/housing/housing-register.html
