The origins of Council housing in Wellington go back to World War ll and the years leading up to it, when the city’s population grew 26 percent and more homes were needed. Now, after 60 years, the Council’s City Housing service is being handed over to an independent Community Housing Provider, Te Toi Mahana, which will enable more social housing and continue the legacy. Wellington City Council local historian Gábor Tóth shares the story of City Housing over the decades.
