Home and Housed

A Vision for Social Housing in New Zealand

Shelter is one of the most basic human needs, but a home is much more than the place where we hang our hat: it gives our lives stability and permanence and contributes materially to our physical and social well-being.

Background

The Family Violence (Amendments) Act 2018 and the Family Violence Act 2018 improve the legislative framework for addressing family violence by giving priority to the safety of victims, including children, and preventing perpetrators from inflicting family violence. The Family Violence Act 2018 replaces the Domestic Violence Act 1995.

The Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Housing Foundation and Community Housing Aotearoa are today welcoming the Green Party’s support for a government-backed rent to own programme, a pathway to home ownership already operated by Community Organisations and advocated for by the affordable home ownership initiative KiwiBuy.
