The Homelessness Insights Report cites the latest figures for most of these areas. For those areas not described in the Homelessness Insights Report, severe housing deprivation figures are available, supplemented with information from the Housing Dashboard: https://www.hud.govt.nz/stats-and-insights/the-government-housing-dashboard/social-housing
