Qualification for public social housing (state housing) and housing assistance in New Zealand through Kāinga Ora and the Ministry of Social Development is based on a comprehensive assessment of housing need, income levels, and cash assets. Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents normally resident in the country, demonstrate an urgent housing need or severe affordability problem, and fall below strict household income and cash asset thresholds. Priority is given to individuals experiencing homelessness, overcrowding, family violence, or severe medical vulnerabilities.
