Episode Details

Hundreds of Kāinga Ora tenancies with children were terminated over three years, impacting over 600 kids — with a peak of 18 cancellations in one month alone. While the agency offers support for rent arrears and behavior issues, terminations follow repeated rule-breaking. Major reasons include unpaid rent, abandonment, and disruptive conduct. Critics warn these actions deepen poverty and leave children without clear housing plans, risking homelessness — especially as Kāinga Ora houses nearly half a million people, many of them children.
