Manage episode 466210623 series 2098280
A group fighting youth homelessness says Kainga Ora's crackdown on rent debt will exacerbate housing insecurity.
The housing provider's announced it will terminate tenancies with people who skip rent and don't attempt to get back on track.
It says the new policy will also help it engage with tenants when rent debt is beginning to mount.
Manaaki Rangatahi Spokesperson Brooke Stanley told Francesca Rudkin they’re worries about the lack of alternatives to emergency housing that the Government is putting forward.
She says they’re also worried about the lack of strategy for addressing homelessness, as the previous plan ended in 2023 and there’s nothing in place to ensure that the work is continued.
