Home Foundation

https://homefoundation.org.nz/

Home Foundation was established in 2020 as a charitable foundation to support and unify the Group’s collective mission—to ensure everyone has access to an affordable, healthy, secure home. The Home Foundation Group encompasses Home Capital Partners—an impact-focused investment fund manager, Kāinga Maha—an innovative residential development company, Home Construction—a full-service construction company, and Te Wawata Kāinga—a property and tenancy management service. Together, we’re building more than homes; Home Foundation is creating pathways to security, identity, and opportunity for New Zealanders.

Our unique approach brings together charitable purpose, financial expertise, and a strategic ecosystem that allows us to partner with Councils, Government bodies, Community Housing Providers (CHPs), Impact Investors, and philanthropic donors who share a vision for ending the housing crisis. With over 1,800 homes delivered across Aotearoa New Zealand, our track record speaks to our capabilities in development management, community-focused design, sustainable and high-quality construction, innovative funding strategies, and long-term partnership building.
