Hi John,
In September 1937, the Labour Government officially opened
the first state house in Miramar. It was one of thousands of state houses built by Labour,
offering more New Zealanders safe, stable places to live and raise
their families.
More than 80 years on, Labour is still working hard to make
sure all New Zealanders have a warm, dry home — and today, our
Government is building record levels of state and public
houses.
In the past two years, we've
built 2,206 state houses:

We’re proud to be helping more families into homes, and
improving housing in New Zealand. Whether it’s building thousands of state houses, stopping
overseas speculators buying up Kiwi homes, or helping hundreds of
homeless people find a place to live with wrap-around support, we’re
getting on with the job.
The housing crisis developed over decades and won’t be
solved overnight – but building 2,206 state houses in two years is a
good start. Will
you help us spread the news by sharing our graphic on
Facebook?
Thanks,
Labour Campaigns Team
