Together we can make a difference
Owning a home feels out of reach for many New Zealanders. Progressive Home Ownership is our rent-to-buy partnership programme, providing families with stability and self-reliance.
Progressive Home Ownership is a hand up, not a handout. As well as a clear housing need, applicants need to show a willingness to partner with Habitat and have the potential to successfully shift to home ownership.
The Progressive Home Ownership process:
Our Home Repair Programme is an affordable, interest-free solution for homeowners needing support with critical repairs and maintenance. It’s about keeping homes warm, dry, healthy and safe.
If you own and occupy your home and need a hand up to get back on track with your home maintenance, Habitat’s Home Repair Programme may be for you.
The Home Repair Programme is supported by BNZ through their interest free line of credit.
The Home Repair process:
