Established in New Zealand in 1991 they are part of the international Abbeyfield movement. There are 13 houses around the country, one under construction, and more in the planning stages.

All residents are tenants of Abbeyfield homes and each residence is classified as a boarding house. Home to mainly single residents, Abbeyfield homes are conveniently located large houses with 10 to 14 studios. An Abbeyfield House aims to be ‘a typical house in a typical street’ offering companionship, independence and support in rental accommodation at a price affordable to the majority of older people.

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei is the mana whenua of the Auckland Central area. We have a rich history in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) dating back to the very beginnings of human Māori migration from Hawaiiki. Our more recent occupation in Tāmaki Makaurau began in the17th century when Te Tāōū, a hapu (sub-tribe) of Ngāti Whātua, under the leadership of Tuperiri, campaigned against, and overrode the local tribe. Tuperiri remained, consolidating the position of Ngāti Whātua in Tāmaki Makaurau.

As such, every member (approximately 5000) of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei can trace their whakapapa (genealogy) to Tuperiri and are descended from the three hapu (sub-tribes): TeTāōū, Ngāoho and Te Uringutu, collectively referred to as Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

OCHT was established by Christchurch City Council (Council) in 2016 to take over the day-to-day management of its social housing portfolio of approximately 2,300 social housing units.

OCHT’s lease agreement with Council also provides an annual payment into an asset fund for long-term house improvements that is kept separate from other Council activities. OCHT is a registered community housing provider (CHP) and a Class 1: Social Landlord committed to delivering high quality services and continuously-improving tenant outcomes. As a charitable trust, any surplus money will be reinvested back into social housing, to improve the service provided to tenants and the wider community.

Tauranga City Council owns 246 units for housing older people, most of which are located near shopping centres and bus routes. They have signed a Housing Accord with the Government to provide new developments to deliver smaller homes on modestly sized sections to achieve more affordable housing.

A Special Housing Area (SHA) is an area of the City suitable for new housing where the more permissive resource consenting powers of the Act can be used to fast track development.

SHAs will be selected by Tauranga City Council in areas where there is a clear demand for housing, and where there is already suitable infrastructure or there are plans for it to be built. When recommending SHAs, Council may include criteria specifying maximum building height, the minimum number of dwellings and a measure for affordable houses. The Council will negotiate housing affordability outcomes on a development by development basis. Some developments will lend themselves to delivering more affordable housing prices than other developments.

Previously the Tauranga Community Housing Trust, Tawanui Community Housing - Whare Kaitiaki, was founded in 2003 in response to concern about the growing lack of affordable, appropriate housing for local disabled people. The Trust operates in the Tauranga area and Western Bay of Plenty Region and now assists a broad range of people, mostly working with individuals and families with complex health, disability, financial and/or social needs in addition to a serious housing need.

Tauranga has been described as being one of the least affordable cities in New Zealand to live, both in terms of renting and home ownership due to the high housing costs relative to income. As a housing provider and landlord TCHT is helping to address this issue through providing housing at a social rather than market rent to those who need it, both in properties owned by the trust itself and through leasing and managing properties owned by the private sector.

In 2008, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa engaged with Ngāti Awa whānui to identify iwi aspirations looking ahead towards the year 2050. Without exception, Ngāti Awa of all ages share the view that the survival and revitalisation of our identity and culture into the future is paramount.

The housing aspirations and needs of Māori are diverse and must be well understood when looking to design a project and solution. Our approach to community housing projects recognises that a quality building is only one part of a successful social or affordable housing project and that wraparound support is often required for community members to maximise and sustain holistic well-being outcomes.

Established in 1952 by the Methodist Church, Wesley Community Action has been pioneering innovative approaches to social justice and quietly helping create just and caring communities ever since. Wesley’s core approach is one where the people experiencing any issue are active in driving and shaping the change – at both an individual and collective level. We currently have 50 rental units spread around Wellington (Newtown, Naenae, and Waitangirua) and are in the process of building 25 new units in Naenae. We are committed to re-weaving community connections between and around our housing stock. We are connected via the Methodist Alliance to a national network of sister organisations.

The Trust’s main aim is to ensure that a disabled person has the maximum opportunity to increase their independence. The Trust provides information, advice and support relating to housing and accessibility issues.

Residential housing is the primary objective of the trust and the principal service offered. We provide fully accessible homes at affordable rents. When we are not able to offer one of the Trust’s homes, we work with prospective tenants to link them with other alternative accessible housing, via other housing providers.

We can provide information as to universal accessible design, including plans, which utilise the barrier-free standards. We can also assist with information about accessible modifications within the home. This has also included building accessible homes on Maori land and the unique challenges that this involves.
