Sweeping changes will be made to emergency housing.
The Government will adopt recommendations from a review by the Housing and Social Development Ministries.
It includes introducing quality standards for suppliers, expanding support services for tenants and grants to help people into private rentals.
Investments will also be made into housing security for Maori and more appropriate supply in Hamilton and Wellington.
Housing Minister Megan Woods says like Rotorua, those cities have few affordable houses and a high rate of people in emergency housing.
