The New Zealand Initiative has released a scathing report on the scheme - calling it a 'bewildered beast' that has little hope of delivering on its goal.
The programme aims to provide 100-thousand homes for first home buyers over the next decade.
Housing Minister Phil Twyford says the last six months have been 'tougher than expected'.
He says it's been harder to get early numbers up, but 47 homes are completed and several hundred are under construction.
Twyford says a further four-thousand homes are under contract and another 10-thousand planned as part of larger scale development projects.
