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

Enabling well-functioning and thriving communities through best practice urban design and development

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.

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.

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.

This exciting new development by Kāinga Ora in Central Auckland’s iconic Greys Avenue combines 276 new homes built around a supportive environment to enable its residents to connect and be active members of the community.
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.
