From Wellington City Council website
City Housing is the Council’s social housing service. Rents are increasingly unaffordable for tenants under the current operating model. It also has a growing operating deficit and a shortfall in funding for necessary housing upgrades. Without new sources of funding, City Housing will not be able to meet its costs of operating and upgrades beyond 2022/23.
We need to decide how we fund and operate City Housing to ensure its long-term future.
We need to make two important decisions on this and we’re seeking public feedback on them.
