Waiting list by local office

Housing priority is worked out through an assessment process that considers a range of factors including: the condition of and facilities available in their current dwelling; the ability of their current dwelling to meet their social, medical and personal needs; and their ability to gain access to a suitable home because of a lack of skills, discrimination of financial means.

Applicants are assessed as Priority A, B, C or D. As of 1 July 2011, Housing New Zealand is adding only Priority A and B applicants to the waiting list. This is because only Priority A and B applicants are eligible for a state house under changes to the Social Allocation System that came into effect on 1 July.

Applicant categories

Priority Eligible A - all applicants whose housing need is assessed as being "at risk" - households with a severe and persistent housing need that must be addressed immediately.

Priority Eligible B - all applicants whose housing need is assessed as being "serious" - households with a significant and persistent need.

C - on the waiting list to 30 June 2011 - all applicants whose housing need is assessed as “moderate” — households that are disadvantaged and this is likely to be compounded over time due to the unsuitability and/or unaffordability of their current housing circumstances and are on the Corporation's waiting list for state housing prior to 1 July 2011. These applicants remain on the waiting list until such time that they accept an available state house not required by any priority applicant or exit the waiting list.

D - on the waiting list to 30 June 2011 - all applicants whose housing need is assessed as “low” - low income households experiencing lower level housing need for whom there may be other viable housing options and are on the Corporation's waiting list for state housing prior to 1 July 2011. These applicants will remain on the waiting list until such time that they accept a state house not required by any priority applicant or exit the waiting list.
