Hawkes Bay Today 23/11/18 COST OF HOUSING SCHEMES On November 12, the Government announced that the Maori Housing Network, a division of the Ministry of Maori Development, funded by the taxpayers, will b e given an extra $5-$8 million to finance housing repairs, only of houses occupied by part-Maoris. This is in addition to the extra $15m provided in the 2018 Budget. The Ministry of Maori Development already spends over $19m per annum to Improve the quality of housing for whanau, build capability in the Maori housing sector, increase the supply of affordable housing for whanau, support Maori emergency housing providers'. The ministry is also managing $9m over three years (2017/18 to 2019/20) to trial new models to assist low-to-medium income whanau Maori to move toward home ownership. Given that part-Maori tribes and other such groupings have taken billions already from the taxpayers for sundry grievances, is it reasonable to ask when they will start using a little bit of that to pay for their needs/ wants?
