Urban development and social housing
Different initiatives and programmes aim to support people in housing need. These include the Regional housing development and our large-scale housing projects.
Urban development
Enabling well-functioning and thriving communities through best practice urban design and development.
Social housing
Kāinga Ora is making more efficient use of land by replacing many of our older state houses with more, warm and dry homes in areas of high demand.
Training and apprenticeships
We are using the scale of our build programme to increase construction training opportunities through initiatives such as our apprenticeship and building academy programmes.
Housing styles
Kāinga Ora’s focus on building new homes means that we’re deploying a variety of housing styles and sizes to make best use of our land holdings, meet contemporary demographic demand and ensure those most in need are housed appropriately.
