Right At Home podcast – Episode 2: Progressive home ownership: finding a solution to generation rent

Aug 8, 2022 | News

For many Kiwis, home ownership is out of reach, with the wealth gap between homeowners and everyone else continually getting bigger.

But all is not lost. In this episode, we talk to two organisations at the forefront of keeping home ownership dreams alive through progressive home ownership models.

The community housing sector has a long history of delivering progressive home ownership and you’ll hear from two leaders in the sector, Habitat for Humanity New Zealand’s Alan Thorpe and Julie Scott from Queenstown Lake Community Housing Trust.

We cover:

– the history of progressive home ownership in Aotearoa

– the $400M Progressive Home Ownership Fund

– the benefits to families of working with a community housing provider
