Our Programmes
Kāinga Ora has programmes to help our tenants find out how to keep homes warm, well-ventilated and as dry as possible.
Right at Home Programme
Living in a warm, dry and healthy home can help reduce the risk of preventable health conditions and respiratory issues.
Our Right at Home Programme focuses on reducing the risk of housing-related illness for vulnerable people and whānau in our homes.
We get referrals to the Right at Home Programme from Te Whatu Ora/Health New Zealand-funded services known as the Healthy Homes Initiatives, we prioritise maintenance work and improvements including updates to meet the Government’s Healthy Homes Standards.
Improvements can include installing mechanical ventilation in the kitchen or bathroom, fitting or replacing carpets, drapes and insulation and installing new or additional heating sources.
Right at Home was previously known as the Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme.
