About Us

• Community Housing Aotearoa (CHA) is an Incorporated Society, which was established in 2004/5 as the national umbrella group for New Zealand's community housing sector.
• CHA provides information and training resources for members as well as advocacy for the sector as a whole.
• CHA and its member groups are intent on growing the capacity of the Community Housing sector and increasing the provision of housing options for those on low to moderate incomes in New Zealand.

“Community Housing Aotearoa plays a key role in the social and affordable housing sector. Your advocacy on behalf of the sector has clearly defined the challenges you face and has helped to shape the Government’s vision for social and affordable housing in New Zealand”.
