INTRODUCTION
Kainga Ora Homes and Communities is a new Crown agency that brings together the people, capabilities and resources of KiwiBuild, Housing New Zealand, and its development subsidiary HLC. This will enable a more joined-up approach to supporting the Government's priorities for housing and urban development in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The new agency is charged with being a world class public housing landlord and leading integrated urban development. Kainga Ora will partner with developers, councils, Maori, government agencies, local communities, and others to enable, facilitate and deliver urban development projects of all sizes.
These projects will provide people with good quality, public, affordable and market homes that connect to the jobs, transport, open spaces and facilities needed for communities to thrive. Kainga Ora will also play an essential role in tackling the Government's priorities of ending homelessness and making homes in New Zealand more affordable.
