Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to increase investment in social and affordable housing in order to target funding towards housing for older people.
Petition reason
By 2048 40% of retirees will be renters, many reliant on NZ Super as their sole or main income. But NZ Super was not designed for renters: many older renters currently spend over half their Super on rent. Older people have a right to affordable, accessible, healthy housing. Ministry of Housing and Urban Development figures show that NZ is not building enough houses to meet this demand. We believe urgent investment by Government in older persons’ housing is needed to address this growing crisis.
