The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) told RNZ it expected staff to do all they could to support people in need - as well as supporting the government's targets.
When the coalition government took office it aimed to reduce the number of households in emergency housing by 75 percent by 2030.
That target was met in January last year, and the latest MSD figures from May reported 471 households in emergency housing - down from 3141 in December 2023.

Chris Hipkins, who first launched the Apprenticeship Boost scheme as education minister, told supporters Labour wanted to see more people in work and keep them in New Zealand, instead of seeing them head overseas.
"Every young New Zealander deserves a genuine choice to build their future here," he said.
The trades that qualify would also be expanded to include road construction, water treatment and hairdressing.
Hipkins later told media Labour had deliberately sought to expand the scheme to more industries that employed more women.

Started in 2020, the scheme pays employers $500 a month for one year to take on apprentices, helping pay for things like wages and ensuring apprentices can keep earning while training. In 2025, the scheme was pegged back from a two-year subsidy to instead focus on first-year apprentices in targeted occupations.

"We've had no intention to sell off large parcels of land, but it seems that the words don't necessarily match our intentions," Tama Potaka told media.
Potaka said he would bring suggested changes to Cabinet which made improvements to the status quo, including better safeguards around the sale of land.
New Zealand First deputy leader Shane Jones was at the conference alongside Potaka, and said his party supported Potaka's move.
He said Potaka would be suggesting improvements to the bill to allay public fears and allow DOC to be more efficient.
