Never before released data shows there has been a huge
increase in the number of people in severe need waiting for
a state house, National’s Housing spokesperson Nicola
Willis says.
At risk applicants on the housing
register are ranked on a scale of 1-20, with ‘A-20’
being the most at risk. These are people with high health
needs or domestic abuse victims who desperately need a
home.
Ms Willis says the data she has obtained through
written questions shows the number of people in the top
three risk categories has gone from 57 people in December
2017, to 2100 today.
