1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Non-Departmental Benefits or Related Expenses
The Accommodation Assistance appropriation was transferred from Vote Social Development to Vote Social Housing from 1 July 2017. Funding for the Emergency Housing Special Needs Grants will be transferred to this appropriation from Vote Social Development with effect from 1 July 2018.
Annual expenditure decreased by $19 million from $1,146 million in 2013/14 to $1,127 million in 2016/17. Annual expenditure is expected to be $1,208 million in 2017/18 and increase to $1,518 million by 2021/22.
The number of Accommodation Supplement recipients typically follows the trends of main benefits (for example, Jobseeker Support, Sole Parent Support and Supported Living Payment). The number of recipients has fallen from an average of 296,500 in 2013/14 to 290,100 in 2016/17. The number is expected to increase to 295,600 in 2018/19 due to the Families Package and then fall again to 286,200 by 2021/22, due to an expected decline in the number of main benefit recipients.
The average amount of Accommodation Assistance paid per recipient increased between 2013/14 and 2016/17, and is expected to increase further in 2017/18 due to the Families Package.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure
The increasing trend for Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure is mainly due to an increase in actual and forecast expenditure in the Social Housing Purchasing MCA non-departmental output expense category, Purchase of Social Housing Provision, much of which is demand driven expenditure, which is influenced by the levels of recipient numbers and subsidies paid per person. There has also been a one-off increase in 2018/19 of $36.509 million in the Transitional Housing MCA non-departmental capital expenditure category, Acquisition, Development and Construction of Transitional Housing. This is for capital expenditure on Transitional Housing places.
1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure#
There has been a change to the title of the Social Housing Purchasing MCA category, Part Payment of Rent to Social Housing Providers to Purchase of Social Housing Provision from 1 July 2018.
Also there has been a change in the title of the Emergency Housing MCA, to Transitional Housing MCA from 1 July 2018. There has also been a corresponding change in the category titles of that MCA from 1 July 2018 as detailed below.

This appropriation is intended to achieve social outcomes by providing targeted financial support to help eligible people meet the costs of accommodation.
How Performance will be Assessed and End of Year Reporting Requirements
An exemption was granted under s.15D(2)(b)(ii) of the PFA, as additional performance information is unlikely to be informative because this appropriation is solely for payments of Accommodation Assistance under the Social Security Act 1964 or any legislation that replaces that Act. Performance information relating to the administration of the payment is provided under the Improved Employment and Social Outcomes Support MCA in Vote Social Development.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
Expenditure on Accommodation Assistance is expected to rise between 2017/18 and 2021/22 because of an expected increase in the average rate paid per person, largely as a result of increasing the maximum payment rates from 1 April 2018 under the Families Package changes, and the transfer of funding for the Emergency Housing Special Needs Grants from Vote Social Development to Vote Social Housing. Partly offsetting this increase is an expected decline in the number of Accommodation Supplement recipients.
Conditions on Use of Appropriation
Reference | Conditions |
---|---|
Accommodation Supplement is paid under sections 61DH to 61EC of the Social Security Act 1964 | The Accommodation Supplement provides a 70% subsidy for housing costs that exceed 25% of the recipient's income (for renters or boarders) or 30% of the recipient's income (for homeowners), up to a set maximum amount. The level of assistance depends on the recipient's accommodation costs, benefit payment rate, where the recipient lives and on his or her family size. The Supplement is a non-taxable payment that is asset-tested. It is income-tested for New Zealand Superannuation and Veterans' Pension recipients and for non-beneficiaries. |
Away from Home Allowance is paid under the Away from Home Allowance Welfare Programme pursuant to section 124(1)(d) of the Social Security Act 1964 | The Away from Home Allowance provides assistance with accommodation costs for the caregivers of dependent 16-17 year olds who move away from home to undertake tertiary study or an approved employment related training course. The level of Allowance is based on the same formula as for Accommodation Supplement. The Allowance is a non-taxable payment. |
Special Transfer Allowance is paid under the Special Transfer Allowance Programme 2000 pursuant to section 124(1)(d) of the Social Security Act 1964 | The Special Transfer Allowance provides assistance with accommodation costs to recipients of the Special Transfer Allowance prior to November 2000 and to former Tenure Protection Allowance recipients who have had their present house sold to a private landlord by Housing New Zealand Corporation. Tenure Protection Allowance ceased to exist with the introduction of the Income Related Rental Subsidy in November 2000. This Allowance is a non-taxable payment. |
Special Needs Grant for Emergency Housing is paid under the Special Needs Grants Programme under section 124(1)(d) of the Social Security Act 1964 | A grant may be made to a person with an immediate emergency housing need to purchase emergency housing (including any bond) for no more than 7 days (but the period can be extended in exceptional circumstances). Some or all of the grant is recoverable in specified circumstances. |

This appropriation is intended to achieve housing assessments and placement on the housing register for people with a housing need, and to provide support to those who are capable of being independent of social housing over the longer term.
How Performance will be Assessed for this Appropriation#
