28 magg 2015 anni - Social Housing: More flexible purchasing arrangements

Descrizione:

Legislation enacted as part of the 2015 Budget amended the Housing Restructuring and Tenancy Matters Act 1992 to allow the Ministry of Social Development to enter into more flexible and innovative purchasing arrangements for social housing. It created a ministerial direction power for the Minister for Social Housing that would enable the Ministry to enter into tailored agreements with social housing providers (Housing New Zealand Corporation and Registered Community Housing Providers). This could allow the Ministry to purchase social housing places into the future, to fund vacant social housing that may be under repair or awaiting an urgent placement, to pay more or less than the income-related rent subsidy and generally enable arrangements that respond effectively to social housing need. The changes did not affect the way in which a tenant’s rent was calculated. The changes were intended to benefit tenants by allowing social housing providers to negotiate more effectively with the Crown to provide services that support people who are eligible for social housing.
