The Accommodation Supplement in New Zealand is a weekly financial assistance payment provided by Work and Income (MSD) to help low-income renters, boarders, and homeowners cover housing costs. Maximum weekly payment caps vary widely depending on household structure and geographic location, which is divided into four distinct housing areas. For instance, a single person with no children living in a high-cost Area 1 location (such as central Auckland or Queenstown) can receive up to 165 New Zealand dollars per week, whereas those in lower-cost rural Area 4 zones face maximum limits around 70 New Zealand dollars per week.
