Please fill in our Expression of Interest form if you'd like to be on our contact list to find out more about this programme.
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.
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:
We provide affordable and stable rental homes, often in partnership with iwi, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, councils and others. As a Community Housing Provider, we are a social landlord, which sets us apart and guides us to allocate our warm, dry, safe and secure homes based on need.
We work across many public housing programmes, all with the aim to support those facing housing affordability challenges. From working with government departments, councils, or private developers, to providing affordable rentals. As a public housing provider, we look at every available opportunity to deliver decent housing for Kiwis in need who meet our criteria.
Habitat Nelson's 'Cabins for Communities' programme provides studio cabins that serve as a transitional housing for those who are waiting for social housing to become available. The programme assists people without access to housing to work towards a more stable future, with the help of our support team.
Cabins for Communities is partnership programme with other local organisations. Habitat Nelson provides the structures and logistics while partnering organisations provide the land and tenancy management.
'Wikitoria' is a village of 8 studio cabins, with separate ablution and kitchen block in central Nelson.
This community is a partnership with Victory Church and Housing First/ Nelson Tasman Bays Salvation Army.
Habitat is in the process of collaboration to establish another 'Cabins for Communities' village in our region.
