Auckland Council owns 1,412 units across Auckland, providing homes for older people with a housing need.

Many villages are in locations that are not well-connected to services like public transport and shopping centres, need upgrade work and are not meeting tenant satisfaction.

The council is proposing to partner with a third-party social housing provider to form a new Community Housing Provider (CHP).

Consultation runs from 9am Wednesday 1 June to 4pm Friday 1 July 2016 and feedback received will inform the council’s decision on whether to go ahead with this proposal.
