HOUSING: Presentation by David Haigh to seminar on Age Friendly Cities

Barbara Ward, British Economist and Writer “If a wealthy nation does leave any of its citizens in poor unhealthy substandard housing the issue is one of choice not necessity.” 1981

Why has the lack of affordable housing in Auckland become a key public issue Government neglect of its housing responsibilities and construction for the past six years. Also for the past six years or so, no one seems to be building affordable housing in Auckland. Property speculation High migration Without government support, the housing industry is incapable or unwilling to build modest affordable homes. Auckland Council lacks the political will to construct houses.

What is the present situation? There is a shortage of 18,000 dwellings in Auckland and this will worsen (MBIE). There was a slump in housing construction and consents in the period. Massey University NZ housing affordability index shows the change in affordability has worsened by 22% in the past year. Auckland’s situation is even worse.

How are we performing in relation to the WHO criteria for Age Friendly Cities Sufficient affordable housing is available in areas that are safe and close to services and the rest of the community. Sufficient and affordable home maintenance and support services are available. Housing is well-constructed and provides safe and comfortable shelter from the weather. Interior spaces and level surfaces allow freedom of movement in all rooms and passageways. Home modification and options and supplies are available and affordable, and providers understand the needs of older people. Public and commercial rental housing is clean, well- maintained and safe. Sufficient and affordable housing for frail and disabled older people, with appropriate services, is provided locally.

Seminar: Housing Options for Older People : Key Points 1.The Auckland housing market is complex, affected by all the issues mentioned in the earlier slide. 2.Auckland’s demographics are changing rapidly and ageing. 3.There is no up to date research on housing options for older people in Auckland. 4.Government, Auckland Council and the community sector need to create a strategy on how to deal with this issue.

Chart showing same data

We have time to plan This information and data shows that, given the strong backing of agencies we have time to work towards solutions in providing affordable housing options for the growing older population of Auckland.

THREE WISHES 1.Build, build and build 2.But build communities not isolated suburbs, and build to support existing communities 3.Design and build age and disability-friendly housing.
