3 gen 1961 anni - Chch State Advances office transfers too many houses to DMA

Descrizione:

With the policy of relocation officially in operation from the 1960s, the State sought to
settle even greater numbers of North Island Maori in Christchurch; individuals, and families
who would not have otherwise corne to the city. In line with the policy, in 1961 the
Christchurch office of the State Advances Corporation transferred more houses to the
Department of Maori Affairs than for which it had local applicants. The explicit intent was to
relocate North Island families to Christchurch to take up occupation of the homes. This
practice continued throughout the 1960s, with District Welfare Officers of the Department of
Maori Affairs being advised at a 1966 national seminar that more houses were available for
Maori in Christchurch "than can be disposed of by normal means".With a surplus of
Maori housing available in the city, the Department of Maori Affairs "specially sponsored" North Island families wishing to relocate to Christchurch.
