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.
