The Housing Crisis and how it affects People.
Statement by Waitemata Unite:
If you ask a
beneficiary or low paid worker “where does most of your income go to?” they will say “rent.”
There are lots
of families out there that cannot afford to pay market rent. The cutting back
of the number and quality of state houses in New Zealand comes at a time of
high unemployment, low wages and harsh austerity cuts. This is the time when
the housing system needs to be strengthened, not attacked. State houses are
being removed and sold all over the country. There are many unoccupied state
houses all over the country, which should be in use for those who really need them.
Instead these houses are getting ready to be put on the market. Auckland's
housing shortage is forcing people to live in caravan parks!
Housing is a Human Right!
Houses for human need, not profit!
Freeze the rents!
Build at least 20, 000 (Waitemata Unite would like 50,000)
quality state
houses in the next 2 years!
No removal of state houses!
No removal of state houses!
