In October 2015 the Tamaki Housing Group marched through Panmure to protest the transfer of state housing.

Rolling protests against the transfer of 2800 Auckland state houses to a redevelopment company are set to come to a head on Thursday.

The Tamaki Housing Group has been protesting outside the Tamaki Regeneration Company (TRC) offices in the suburb of Glen Innes since Tuesday.

The group is against the Government's controversial decision to transfer the ownership and management of 2800 states houses to the TRC on April 1.

SUPPLIED Rolling protests are happening in Glen Innes against the transfer of 2800 state houses to the Tamaki Regeneration Company.

Tamaki Housing Group spokesperson and protester Sue Henry said the final protest would be held on Thursday to coincide with the transfer.

The assembly outside the TRC offices at 3pm would be peaceful, she said.

The transfer means that from Thursday social housing tenants in the Glen Innes area will have a new landlord.

Over the next 15 years the TRC will pull down the old state houses and in their place construct 7500 new houses.

The number of social houses will stay the same and the rest will become private housing.

TRC is a joint venture where the New Zealand Government, which owns 59 per cent, and the Auckland Council, which owns 41 per cent.

The group was protesting against the privatisation of state housing, Henry said.

"Ultimately we disagree with the Government's policy of transferring state housing to companies that have a strong interest in privatisation.

"We also disagree with the fact that many tenants are now finding themselves in unstable situations about their future," she said.

Following the transfer TRC will manage the housing and tenants through its Tamaki Housing division.

Tamaki Housing general manager Neil Porteous said Tamaki Housing had been created to serve the community.

"Our focus is on making Tamaki an even better place to live and we have employed a passionate team of people who are committed to working with the people who live here," he said.

Porteous said the transfer would not affect rental prices and eligibility for social housing assistance would continue to be determined by the Ministry of Social Development.

"Those people affected by redevelopment and who want to stay in Tamaki will have the opportunity to do so," he said.
