About us
Chief Executive's overview
Creating communities that enjoy security, stability and harmony is critical to the success of the Government's housing programme. The Corporation's role is to provide support to families and individuals who need housing assistance.
We are aware that strong and enduring communities and iwi provide the social and support mechanisms for people and families who live within them. Hence, working in partnership with other government agencies, communities, non-government housing groups, Māori and Pacific peoples remains vital to the Corporation.
The proposed Tamaki project is a clear example of how we are engaging with our partners to plan for the development and transformation of the area. The people of Tamaki have strong and supportive community networks, resources and aspirations. The Corporation is working across government agencies, the community and non-government sector to help make the most of opportunities to improve outcomes for Tamaki people.
Housing affordability remains a major challenge for the Corporation. We continue to support the Government to deliver effective, affordable housing interventions for home buyers. This will include providing assistance for first-home buyers, supporting other social housing providers, and building affordable housing into government-led development projects.
By engaging with other agencies and through the quality of our policy advice, we aim to be recognised as a leader and innovator, particularly in social and affordable housing.
We also want all New Zealanders to live in safe, energy-efficient, well-maintained houses, in line with the Government's commitment to sustainability. We strive to offer New Zealanders state homes that meet their needs and aspirations. In our efforts to do so, we are challenged by the conditions, features and locations of our current ageing stock. We will continue to work with other agencies in responding to changing household type and geographic demand, and balance the needs of today with those of the future.
Internally, we are developing a strong customer orientation across the Corporation and increasing our capability to deliver on the Government's wider objectives. These are exciting times as we create a new way of working to enhance our performance and ensure our customers get the best from us. We invite you to journey with us to achieve our new vision: to ‘work for New Zealanders by creating housing opportunities and strengthening communities'.
