奥克兰新增3000套社会住房目标提前完成,超8000个家庭受益

【新西兰华人每日资讯网 7月31日报道】

新西兰政府宣布,已提前完成本届政府任期内在奥克兰新增 3000套社会住房(Social Homes) 的承诺,为更多有住房需求的居民提供温暖、安全和稳定的居住环境。

住房部长 Chris Bishop 表示,截至2026年6月底,自2023年11月以来,奥克兰社会住房净增加数量已达到 3034套,超过政府此前设定的目标。

他说,这一成果离不开 Kāinga Ora、社区住房机构(Community Housing Providers)、开发商、建筑企业以及相关工作人员的共同努力。

新增住房中:

  • Kāinga Ora建设 1824套;
  • 社区住房机构提供 1210套。

政府表示,新建社会住房不仅数量增加,也更加符合实际需求。过去奥克兰住房登记名单中约60%的申请者需要一居室住房,但2023年Kāinga Ora住房中一居室比例仅约12%。

目前,新交付的奥克兰社会住房中,约 60%为一居室和两居室住房,重点满足单人、小家庭和弱势群体需求。同时,约 75%的新增住房位于南奥克兰和西奥克兰,这些地区住房需求较高。

全国范围内,自2023年11月以来,新西兰已新增超过 8400个社会住房名额。

政府表示,未来仍将继续通过2024、2025和2026年度预算投入,支持超过 4500套社会住房和可负担租赁住房建设,并与社区住房机构、毛利住房组织等合作,扩大长期住房供应。

编辑点评:

奥克兰住房压力长期受到关注。社会住房数量增加,有助于缓解低收入家庭和弱势群体的居住困难。不过,随着人口增长和住房需求持续上升,未来仍需要在住房供应、租赁市场和基础设施配套之间保持长期平衡。

The Government has met its 2023 election commitment to deliver 3,000 additional social homes in Auckland during the current term of government, reaching the milestone months ahead of schedule and providing thousands more Aucklanders with access to warm, dry and secure homes, Housing Minister Chris Bishop says.

“Before the election we publicly committed to increasing Auckland’s social housing stock by at least the then net build rate of 1,000 homes a year over three years. I’m pleased to say, we have delivered 3000 social homes since we took office, delivering on that commitment ahead of schedule – and we’re still going.

“At the end of June 2026, the net increase of social homes in Auckland since November 2023 was 3,034 and climbing.

“Delivering so many new social homes has taken a huge effort from Community Housing Providers, Kāinga Ora, developers, builders and everyone involved in getting these homes delivered. Thank you to everyone who has played a part.

“Kāinga Ora contributed 1,824 of the new Auckland homes, and Community Housing Providers have delivered the other 1,210.

“We’re not just delivering more social homes – we’re delivering homes that better reflect the needs of the people waiting for them.

“In 2023, only around 12 per cent of Kāinga Ora’s homes were one-bedroom properties, despite around 60 per cent of people on the Auckland housing register currently needing a one-bedroom home.

“We’re changing that by focusing on building the right homes, in the right places, for the people most in need. Around 60 per cent of the new social homes delivered in Auckland are one- and two-bedroom properties.

“We also know that there is significant need in South and West Auckland, so it’s encouraging that 75 per cent of the new Auckland homes are in those areas.

“These 3,034 additional social homes in Auckland form part of more than 8,400 additional social housing places delivered across New Zealand since November 2023.

“While the 3,000 homes milestone is worth celebrating, there’s a lot more to do.

“We’re continuing to invest in more social housing where it’s needed most. Through Budgets 2024, 2025 and 2026 we’ve funded over 4,500 additional social homes and affordable rentals, including further investment in Auckland through the Flexible Fund.

“We’ve funded a genuine, long-term social housing pipeline so Community Housing Providers, Māori providers and others can plan their build programmes further ahead.

“We’ll keep working with a wide range of providers to increase the supply of quality, fit for purpose social housing right across New Zealand.”
