Introduction
Habitat for Humanity is a registered housing charity and Community Housing Provider. As part of our housing provision we provide a Progressive Home Ownership (PHO) Programme supporting working families into home ownership.
Our programme is based on a Rent to Own model, where families are selected through an application process. Under the terms of the programme families pay an affordable rent, paying down the purchase price of the home over time until they can afford a commercial loan from the bank and purchase the home from Habitat. The price of the home is set an affordable level and all equity gained from time of occupancy is transferred to the homeowner. No initial deposit is required. Over the past 25 years Habitat has helped over 550 families into home ownership through this model.
Applicant Criteria
Applicants are encouraged to apply or contact us for more information if you meet the following broad criteria.
1. Have a strong desire for home ownership and partnership through this process with Habitat.
2. Cannot access current market priced housing, due to either household income and / or lack of deposit.
3 Can afford to pay a market rent.
4. Have stable work and a stable household income.
5. Have a KiwiSaver account.
6. Are an NZ citizen.
7. Ideally currently reside in the near vicinity of the available homes or in Auckland.

“This settlement is a big milestone. We are over the moon. When we moved into our home it felt comfortable. Everything was good, from paying the rent to having maintenance done on the house. Habitat looked after us. I contributed to whatever they required; my help, my experience, and expertise. We can stand up on our own feet and find our own way.”
