Mr Goff wants to incentivise owners of vacant Auckland properties to rent them to rough sleepers under Housing First, or rent them to people unable to afford market rents. The HF programme places homeless in rentals with rent guarantees and support for the tenant.
Mr Tamihere agrees with Mr Goff if the proposal is feasible.
Properties might have been vacant on census night for any number of reasons. Some owners might be prepared to take a chance on such tenants if there are no applicants available. At all. Otherwise, good luck with that Mr Goff.
Incentivising is only a small step away from some sort of compulsion
