Through 1948 and 1949, discussions with the State Advances Corporation and the Housing Construction Division continued. Finally, agreement was reached on a permanent plan to provide State rental houses to Maoris in
urban areas. The Department of Maori Affairs assisted by representatives of the tribal organisations would select tenants while administration and maintenance would be the responsibility of the State Advances Corporation.
