The need for a national strategy and reasserting the role of the state as the final guarantor of social cohesion has arrived.Large sections of the population are left to live on the poverty line and growing number's are facing homelessness,many without any prospect of finding a productive place in our society.
There is a wide- spread loss of faith in the power of government to help change things around.Finding affordable rental housing is not easy,tenants are never secure,subject to the whims of landlords and rising rents, as well as the lack of security of tenure.
Government housing policies has boosted demand but not supply and has lead to the homelessness that has taken root in today's New Zealand.There are not enough state houses,private rental's are to expensive for many tenants who live on fixed incomes.Present housing policies have failed to deliver affordable for the growing number of tenant's.
The time has arrived for a review of these failed policies,so that tenants have a glimpse of a better life for their children and grandchildren.New Zealander's need a central government that guarantees everyone has a state in the country and a place to call home.Make sure you use your vote to help secure a better future for everyone.
