Developments and programmes
Different initiatives and programmes aim to support people in housing need. These include the Regional housing development and our large-scale housing projects.

Kāinga Ora has a range of housing initiatives and programmes underway to boost the supply of new housing for Kiwis. These include housing projects of different sizes and types in New Zealand’s main centres and across the country.

Kāinga Ora has a clear mandate from the Government to deliver more homes to meet the urgent need in our communities. Our engagement work aims to inform communities about the homes being built in their area.

Kāinga Ora has a range of small, medium and large-scale development projects underway which will deliver different styles of housing to meet contemporary demographic demand.

We are using the scale of our build programme to increase construction training opportunities through initiatives such as our apprenticeship and building academy programmes.
Kāinga Ora is transforming its construction activities to be more efficient, productive and sustainable.

The Kāinga Ora Land Programme was established to acquire and develop land to increase housing supply and improve affordability in areas of need.

At Kāinga Ora, we have an important responsibility of transforming New Zealand’s housing choices, outcomes and the entire housing sector by creating homes and communities that allow New Zealanders to thrive.

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.

KiwiBuild enables developers to bring more affordable homes to market faster for first home buyers.
Kāinga Ora has several focus areas that influence how we work with, and within, communities to deliver new homes and amenities. Find out more here.
