What next?
This report offers suggestions for how to reinforce
the GPS-HUD and MAIHI Ka Ora, drawing particular
attention to constructive accountability and
democratic participation. It is not the last word; it is
just the beginning of our Housing Inquiry.
Our Inquiry will go into communities to hear their
experiences of the housing system. It will look at
other key aspects of the right to a decent home:
habitability, accessibility, security of tenure, cultural
adequacy, and others.
Throughout 2022, we will continue to update our
Measuring Progress indicators. These will help us
measure whether the right to a decent home
grounded on Te Tiriti o Waitangi is progressively
improving for everyone in Aotearoa.
We invite and welcome suggestions and comments
as the Inquiry progresses.
