I am requesting access to information regarding success rate and integration outcomes, and housing stability for migrant populations, with a focus on the Pacific demographic. Specifically on; 1. Any reports or evaluations the Department of Internal Affairs may have regarding housing stability and integration outcomes for (Pacific) migrants. Internal assessments on the measures of success and method to measure housing stability and integration success rates. 2. Data on Regional vs. Urban Settlement Initiatives Information about any policies or specific programs designed to encourage migrants to settle in regional areas rather than urban centers. Specifically, data on the number of Pacific migrants in each type of resettlement area and the programs designs. Please let me know if there are any limitations that would prevent full disclosure of the requested information.
Information on housing stability and integration can offer insights into the effectiveness of current housing policies for migrants, specifically Pacific migrants. It would also enable the ability of citizens to analyze the regional versus urban distribution of migrants and understand the policy rationale behind these resettlement efforts.
