Home ownership resources
Kāinga Ora administers a number of government programmes to assist first home buyers (and also some previous home owners) on to the home ownership ladder.
We also provide a number of publications that explain these programmes and also provide generic guidance through the home buying process. The purpose of this page is to provide you access to download product brochures, as well as links to other government websites that may assist you through the path to home ownership.
