Description
Summary:	The paper examines the 1990s as a decade of change within New Zealand's housing policies. The decade has seen a radical restructuring of both the public institutions & instruments designed to deliver housing assistance. The paper discusses both the nature of the reforms & their impact upon the housing opportunities of low-income households. It also assesses whether they have created greater choice for low-income households & increased or decreased housing-related poverty. 1 Table, 23 References. Adapted from the source document.
