We need more than 6400 new state homesGEOFF DALE/STUFF State Houses in Glen Innes, Auckland. OPINION: The case to build more state homes is overwhelming. Labour, a party with a long history as the champions of state housing, came to power promising 1000 new state homes a year, which was actually less than National's promise. This change appears to have largely been driven by a serious decline in state housing. The authors of the Government's own housing stocktake blamed this drop in state housing for our current problem with homelessness.
