After pouring more than $11 million into a Rotorua motel complex for the homeless, Kāinga Ora has decided to tear it down and put the Fenton St site on the market.

One year on since Kainga Ora began its turnaround plan, and it's now exceeding its saving targets.

Tenancy satisfaction is rising, vacancy rates are lower, fewer tenants are in rent arrears, and Kāinga Ora is doing a better job of managing its tenants to support safe, respectful communities.

Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka joined Kerre Woodham to discuss the successful changes.
