    Claims government support is failing to ease housing stress

    Claims government support is failing to ease housing stress

    21 April 2025
    An Auckland University study shows New Zealand's accommodation supplement is doing little to improve affordability for renters.

    It's found Auckland renters receiving the supplement pay more than those who don't.

    Associate Professor Edward Liu says other studies show landlords may raise rents in response to subsidies.

    He says a better way to help renters, could be to provide social housing instead of cash subsidies.
