Affordable rental pathway
The first round of the Affordable Housing Fund, the Affordable rental pathway, offers $50 million of grant funding to not-for-profit organisations to deliver newly built affordable rental housing.
It’s often too expensive to build and sustain new housing and offer rent at a rate that is affordable for lower income people and whānau. The Affordable rental pathway helps to address this issue by offering funding to make these projects financially viable.
These affordable rental homes will be for lower income people and whānau who can’t afford a market rent but can’t access public housing.
Funding is targeted in locations with the greatest need for an increased supply of affordable rental for those on lower incomes, including:
Auckland
Tauranga-Western Bay
Rotorua
Napier-Hastings
Wellington Metro (including Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Kāpiti), and
Nelson-Tasman.
Not-for-profits include organisations such as community housing providers, iwi and Māori housing providers, councils, and charitable trusts.
Registrations of Interest in the first round of the Affordable rental pathway are open until 24 August 2022.
Eligible organisations and developments
To be eligible for funding through this first round of the Affordable rental pathway, an organisation must be a not-for-profit organisation that can demonstrate capability to develop, maintain, and operate affordable rental housing.
