Providing houses for people who are struggling to secure appropriate accommodation is an important public service. ​In New Zealand, social housing includes state houses owned by Housing New Zealand Corporation (Housing New Zealand), houses leased by Housing New Zealand, and housing provided by local authorities and non-governmental organisations. Most social housing is provided by Housing New Zealand. ​People who need social housing can be some of the most vulnerable in our society.
