Welcome to Community Housing Aotearoa

Community Housing Aotearoa (CHA) is a peak body for Aotearoa’s community housing sector.

Our 100+ members include community housing providers and partner members such as developers, consultants and local councils. Our provider members house approximately 35,000 people nationally across 18,520 homes.

Our Vision is to make sure every New Zealander is well-housed in a warm, safe, dry and affordable home.
This is a human right.

If you are a community housing provider, become a member today.
