jan 2, 1961 - Hunn Report demonstrates Department of Maori Affairs not keeping up with demand for Maori housing

Description:

The 1961 Hunn Report demonstrated that the Department of Maori Affairs housing programme was not keeping up with the demand for houses, and that a major backlog of unsatisfied applicants existed. The Report made a number of innovative proposals as to how this backlog could be eliminated, and some of these were implemented. However, the statistics which Hunn used to calculate demand for housing were out of date, and the Report underestimated the need for housing. Butterworth has shown that the increase in the number of houses provided through the Department in the post-Hunn years only 'dented' the problem of substandard Maori housing, but did not eliminate it as the Department claimed and others believed. This study includes a reassessment of Maori housing needs in the 1960s, and discusses why the stimulus given to the Maori housing programme following the Hunn report fell short of need.
