Answer

Kāinga Ora completed a total of 408 retrofits in the period 1 July 2025 – 31 May 2026. Regarding the number of houses that meet Full Universal Design, Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that it ceased tracking this information from July 2025 as the requirement to formally report against the 15 percent target of eligible newly constructed social homes that met Full Universal Design standards was discontinued in the Kāinga Ora 2025/26 Statement of Performance Expectations.
