The Prime Minister admits it's disappointing KiwiBuild won't hit the mark this year

It's been said the Government won't live up to its promise of a thousand homes by July - with Ministry data showing just 33 are officially completed.

Jacinda Ardern says ultimately the true goal has been to address the housing situation in New Zealand.

She says even if they're falling shy of some goals they set - they're still building affordable houses, just not as quickly or as many as they want.

Ardern is standing by the goal of 100-thousand in 10 years, and is pushing back on claims the houses aren't selling.
