State house offered to man with disability still empty

Shane Emeny who is paralysed has been stuck in emergency housing for four years waiting for a house to become available. But even though one did a year ago, it still has to be modified to suit his needs. Building consent for that modification has only just been granted. ACC, which is overseeing those amendments, said such work can be complex and that government agencies are working fast to get the house ready. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
