Potaka Tama; Woods Megan; Salesa JennyTAMA POTAKA (National—Hamilton West): Three questions—a couple of them are related and one of them is pretty random. I asked a question before in the education session that actually was tied in with housing and that's around the teen units at various high schools. These young mums are between 13 and 17 or 18 years old but many of them are living in very exposed housing situations—very dangerous housing situations. In the one that I visited they were saying basically that 80 percent lived in emergency housing and of that 80 percent about 60 percent of them were at risk. So I'm wondering what priority the Government is giving to those young mothers across teen units throughout the country around their housing needs—that's the first one.The second one is that the reports on emergency housing special needs grants that are issued by Ministry of Social Development acknowledge that stating that there are about 7500 adults and children in emergency homes right now or who receive those sorts of grants. But there's actually nothing reported on the stats for Rotorua and I wonder given the hype and the concentration on Rotorua when will those stats be made available. The third and final one is around Kāinga Ora and the many and various majestic developers that are out there that are building on behalf of Kāinga Ora and building to the needs of Kāinga Ora and we had the situation last week where some of those homes were unfortunately set afire set ablaze. I'm just trying to understand through the Minister or the Associate Ministers whether or not you're comfortable with the level of risk assessment vis-à-vis community stakeholder engagement on where and how those projects are being built. Kia ora. Three questions—thank you Minister.Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): I'm happy to address them. In terms of the issue around youth homelessness that of course is an absolute focus of the work that Minister Davidson is leading around how it is that we can have facilities that are catering towards youth homelessness. I visited in Hamilton some wonderful new developments that are catering very much—well only for youth in transitional housing and how it is that we can set these young people up. They're often young women as you say with children. We can set them on a path to have sustained tenancies throughout their lives though my hope is that they can even one day move into a position where they can consider homeownership as well. We see likewise that our Government has backed Sue Bagshaw's Youth Hub development in Christchurch which is going to be a game-changer. So in youth homelessness for the first time having specific facilities to deal with that very real issue has been a focus for our Government.In terms of Rotorua I draw the member Tama Potaka to this very useful dashboard which is published monthly and has been for about six or seven months now. It is published on the Ministry of Social Development website I believe and it gives exactly the data that the member is looking for. So this is something for a period of time—Chris Bishop: It excludes Rotorua.Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: No it is just about Rotorua Mr Bishop. It is the Rotorua emergency housing report which goes into various aspects of it. So that is just about Rotorua for those that are desperate for the data on Rotorua and we're producing this for a very real reason which is because we want to chart and measure the progress that we are making in Rotorua by taking a very place-based approach.In terms of the consultation that Kāinga Ora does with its communities I think we can see that it differs from development to development depending on the development. Where it's a large-scale project we set up site offices and we spend months and actually indeed years working with local communities around what that development looks like. What we see is that sometimes Kāinga Ora will buy a development off the developer after it's built. In terms of how it is that we deal with communities depends on the nature of what the development is and the way in which it's coming on stream. But again I reiterate just as we did in the previous discussion that if all of us wanted to solve a housing crisis every person in this House has a job to do of showing leadership around the need for public housing to be placed somewhere. I get too many letters from members of this House complaining about public housing coming to their neighbourhoods and it's always something that brings despair to me. CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): We have two more minutes for this debate. If anyone else has any comments or questions—
