About this episode
Kāinga Ora is getting bad press once again, following the publication of the harrowing story of a Hamilton woman who for years lived next door to disruptive and disrespectful tenants.
This is just the latest in a string of stories, stretching back years, that tell of neighbours enduring abuse, aggression and anti-social behaviour.
So how widespread is this issue across social housing in New Zealand, and what are Kāinga Ora management doing to keep people safe from unruly neighbours?
Damien is joined by Nick Maling, the general manager of national services at Kāinga Ora, NZ Herald deputy chief of news Lane Nichols who has for years been covering the turmoil that some Kiwi families are facing.
