Welcome to Community Housing Aotearoa

We are a proud tangata Tiriti organisation. Our 175+ members include community housing providers and

We are committed to our vision where every New Zealander is well-housed in a warm, safe, dry
and affordable home. This is a human right.

Introducing the CHA Hub

Community Housing Aotearoa is pleased to introduce the CHA Hub — a new platform bringing together research, insights, interviews, and resources focused on strengthening the community housing sector across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Hub has been developed to support sector learning, collaboration, and informed discussion around the challenges and opportunities facing community housing providers.

A place for insight and sector knowledge

The CHA Hub brings together a growing collection of content designed to support community housing providers, policymakers, researchers, and sector partners.

Insight reports examining key housing issues
Interviews with sector leaders and practitioners
Videos and recorded conversations
Policy discussions and sector analysis
Curated resources relevant to community housing

The goal is to create a central place where sector knowledge can be explored, shared, and built upon.

Supporting a stronger community housing system

Community Housing Aotearoa represents a growing network of community housing providers working to deliver safe, secure, and affordable homes across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The CHA Hub complements this work by helping surface ideas, experiences, and insights from across the sector.

By bringing together interviews, analysis, and resources in one place, the Hub supports ongoing learning and informed discussion about how we strengthen community housing in Aotearoa.
