Murray Edridge: Wellington City Mission CEO on the Government's social housing reform

There’s some confidence the Government's struck the right balance with its social housing overhaul.  This year's Budget includes hiking the amount social housing tenants have to pay from 25% of their income to 30%.  The savings will be redirected into support for private renters.  Wellington City Mission Chief Executive Murray Edridge told Mike Hosking the increase is not a huge amount.  He says while it may hurt some people, it'll help those in the private rental market struggling with the lack of accommodation subsidies.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
