Rotorua's Mayor is feeling upbeat about the Government's new emergency housing laws.  

Families with children living in emergency housing for more than 12 weeks will go to the top of the social housing waitlist.  

The verification process, eligibility settings, and obligations will also be strengthened for those entering emergency housing. 

Tania Tapsell told Mike Hosking that there's a lot of children in these environments, so it's great they're targeting those most in need. 

She sees hope for a quicker end to what's been a shambles, not only in Rotorua but across the country.
