Housing units in the past 18 months

We aim to support whānau into stable housing solutions

We will do this by:

  • Supporting people into progressive home ownership through shared equity or buy-to-rent opportunities.
  • Supporting affordable rental opportunities that offer stability and support for whānau.
  • Helping whānau build readiness and financial capability so they can enter the housing market or afford rentals.

As a grant-maker and financial investor we have a perspective that cuts across financial and social return. We use a mix of grants, loans, and long-term financial investments to deliver housing outcomes, partnering with iwi, community housing providers, and government.

Evidence plays a big part in our community investment decisions.  Research we conducted in 2022 helped us identify affordable rental (80% of market rates) and progressive home ownership as significant gaps in the current housing continuum and where our funding and investment could enable projects that might otherwise not be viable. Another area where evidence showed we could make a difference is supporting whānau to develop financial capability and capacity.

We are partnering with Impact Lab to develop a new housing measure which will help us better understand the social value of housing for various population groups.
