When one has been around a while recurring themes become apparent.
There was an article in the Harold earlier this year, apparently there are more vacant state houses in many areas than there are people on the waiting list. This government does not like social housing so the standard politicians playbook says run the resource down then flog it off to private interests. We are clearly well into the running down phase.
This is not a local phenomenon, the Tory government in Britain is currently suspected of doing the same thing with their National Health Service.
So the number of houses actually available is much less than what exists, some require maintenance, some require earthquake strengthening(?), and a proportion require decontamination. Sure some of the maintenance will be required because of feral arseholes, but more will be due to years of neglect by the government cutting funding.
A few decades ago there was another "housing crisis" although the Minister constantly denied this.
A guy I worked with was a National Party member and at a social function asked the minister did he really not believe that there was a housing crisis, "Of course there is, but I'm not going to admit that in public".
I'm reminded of that conversation every time I see Key/English/Bennett say, "Crisis? What crisis?"
That conversation and the eponymous Supertramp album.

Fact is that these ''homeless'' people live in abject squalor and as such they treat any gifted residence the same. We looked after one Motel where two rooms were taken over by one family. They were obviously feral dwellers..the way they left the rooms was unbelievable... the so called mother smoked in the bedroom, when asked about this she said ''but I am a chain smoker and it was wet outside''... I needed a wheelie bin outside the room to clean up what was left so that the cleaners could have a decent go at it. If these feral people rock on up and want a room you can turn them away. Trouble is they book via an online booking portal. After they bastards leave, you have to lock the room off so it's gets a decent clean and leave the odour eliminator running overnight....all at the cost of the Motel, do WINZ give a toss? nah.

Youre to tight to spend money on groceries let alone p.
With regards to "housing"...
Divest a quantity of actual, real houses from the state.
Invest in a larger quantity of caravans and tents.
Those who abuse the generosity of the state will get lower levels of accommodation.
Nowhere does it say that people need a house. They require accommodation.
