Study Finds the Accommodation Supplement is Failing to Ease Housing Stress for Renters w/ the University of Auckland's Edward Yiu: 15 April 2025
The Accommodation Supplement is one of Aotearoa’s primary social housing support programmes.
It provides weekly financial assistance to lower-income households struggling with housing costs.
A recent study by University of Auckland has revealed that the supplement is failing to ease housing stress, with renters receiving the subsidy spending more of their income on rent than those who don’t, across all income brackets.
Producer Amani spoke to University of Auckland Associate Property Professor Edward Yiu to find out more about this research and to see what advice he has for student renters.
