Feb 2, 2015 | News

Habitat for Humanity Acting CEO Nic Greene says the Prime Minister’s announcement this week with more detail around the Government’s plan shows it remains committed to the housing discussion and engaging with community housing providers to find solutions to housing issues across New Zealand.

“As a provider of both affordable and social housing, Habitat would like to see more discussion and policy detail relating to providing pathways for people toward home ownership. Habitat for Humanity’s home ownership model is a hybrid that allows families to firstly rent homes, receive educational and other wrap around services before transitioning into an ownership phase,” Nic Greene says.
