This dashboard provides a monthly summary about the delivery of social and Māori homes funded from Budget 2024 and Budget 2025.

We continue to see progress, with projects advancing through the pipeline. The number of social homes expected to be delivered has increased to 2,135 (up from 2,031).  Of this, the number of homes delivered has increased to 197 (up from 136) and approved homes to 1,818 (up from 1,638). 

We expect the majority of the 120 homes that are under evaluation to be approved by Christmas. Almost 90% of delivered and approved homes are one or two-bedroom homes.
