The Government is celebrating a drop in numbers of children living in emergency housing.
Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka says almost 1500 have moved to social housing since the Government's Priority One policy was introduced in April.
He says the total children who've left emergency housing since they took office is closer to 2500.
"Some of them have not gone into social housing, they've just gone into private housing - and that housing offers an accommodation supplement. They've gone into different types of housing. But we've seen a massive shift."
