Our Infill Housing Plan focuses on co-partnering with the community to provide high quality affordable homes to a broader range of people wanting to enter into home ownership. Taking a collaborative approach and by working together those living in social housing can transition into a rent to own property. People who have been long term renters can also transition into home ownership. 

Infill Housing will often mean no requirement for land purchase and therefore only the cost of the home need be financed. Our entry level fully self contained studio home requires no deposit and the loan is secured by the purchased home. The borrower must have a household income of $50k. 

The homes we offer are purpose designed for Infill and are a locally manufactured housing solution backed by a big brand name so buyers get full peace of mind on every aspect of the home-buyer experience, from pre sale to post sale. The homes range from studio, one bedroom and two bedroom smaller floor plan sizes up to 30 sqm which can avoid the need for council consents. We build them on relocatble foundations as standard in the price so if you want to move the home  for any reason you can. 

Families working together can pool their resources and using our solutions resolve any housing issues for their family members.

Infill housing can be a great way to help you and or your family get onto the home ownership ladder. 

For families that already own homes, infill housing is the construction of additional dwellings onto an existing residential site, through a process known as subdivision. Think putting a new house on your backyard, it can be extremely financially rewarding!

The practice of infill housing is not new, since the 1970’s there have been many examples of infill developments. These have often reflected generous sections being subdivided in to smaller sites, with driveways two or three houses deep as options. Infill housing is great for allowing newer housing stock in a more affordable way when families combine their resources resulting in cooperative-buy type housing developments but it can however be difficult to understand if your section is suitable. We offer assessment of site potential, allowing peace of mind and professional guidance before any financial commitment is made. Whether you want to create additional housing on your section to help your family into housing, or you want to subdivide, Build: By subdividing your existing section a new house can be built. You could choose to live in one and sell the other, or live in one and rent the other. Or perhaps you could choose to sell them both.

Either way, a brand new house in your existing area is a desirable prospect for many consumers. Subdivide, Sell: By finding a buyer before final subdivision, you could avoid paying full subdividing costs without a buyer lined up, we can help get this is done on your behalf. You can even set covenants to ensure your privacy requirements are met. Alongside the significant financial return to you, infill housing is a responsible way of helping New Zealand grow. Helping to ease our publicised housing shortage, enhancing the quality of housing stock and limiting urban sprawl are all examples of why newer council planning objectives often favour this type of housing. We are currently seeking to invest in the following INFILL Village Housing Projects and Developments, either as the primary investor and or co-investor. (Joint venture partnerships are of special preference to us).

• INFILL multi-dwelling housing up to fifteen (15) dwellings.
• INFILL cooperative buy, pocket community- communal housing developments.

• INFILL housing developments that don't require City Council building development consents. 

Papakāinga housing is a cluster of dwellings that are occupied by Māori of all ages who are connected by common kinship or kaupapa. These are no longer just a feature of rural landscapes. With more and more Māori living in urban areas, papakāinga are now developing in towns and cities as well.

Papakāinga may be described as Māori living together communally on ancestral whenua. Shared whakapapa to place and each other provides the bonds that tie together the members of a papakāinga. 
 
Traditionally papakāinga comprised multiple dwellings and communal facilities, and were commonly sited around resources and/or places of importance. In a contemporary sense, papakāinga provide Māori with opportunity to live according to that group’s social and cultural values, which may not be provided for through western models of housing and tenure. 
 
Papakāinga developments can create opportunities to provide affordable, secure housing for whanau and hapū on ancestral whenua, and can foster greater economic independence and community resilience for these communities.

We are currently seeking to partner in the following Papakāinga Housing Projects and Developments, either as the primary investor and or co-investor. (Joint venture partnerships are of special preference to us).
 

• Māori owned or freehold land based multi-dwelling housing developments.
• Māori owned or freehold land based cooperative buy, pocket community- communal housing developments.
• Māori owned or freehold land based rental housing developments.

Is a project we will execute in partnership with Te Mana Pono O Te Rangatira Leadership Foundation. This Trust was established to promote the well-being of individuals and their families by providing information and support, leading and enabling them to move towards greater social and economic independence as well as the ability to achieve their maximum potential.

The Trust is predominantly concerned with the provision of accessible and empowering services for at risk children, taane and their families. The organisation is committed to the prevention of child abuse and the protection of children, as well as creating strong individuals who contribute to their community. This commitment means that the interests and welfare of children and taane will always be paramount.  It is through the interventions with families that we have identified the need to provide transitional housing for taane.

Te Mana Pono will utilise current services to achieve the desired outcomes in partnership with Ministry of Justice and other government and non government agencies and stakeholders. To enable taane to return successfully to their permanent care giving placement (whanau) or alternative placement that will support their needs.

As a kaupapa Maori service in Tairawhiti, Te Mana Pono look at today’s social issues through a Maori lens.  The evidence is shown through the large numbers of our Maori people that are incarcerated within prisons and youth prisons, that a response is needed.  As a preventative measure; Te Whare O Nga Ariki will provide support to both taane and where possible their whanau to address Maori going into prison. 

This community housing project is being developed by GPC Limited and the Mātou Kāinga Māori Housing & Development Initiative.

This specific project comprises:

The construction of a purpose designed Leadership Academy at Whatatutu Gisborne to home and support up to eight (8) male youth aged 16 to 21. The call to action is to build residential housing suited to provide long and short-term accommodation with wrap around support services for Rangatahi classified low risk to the community.

Whatatutu is seen as an idyllic location and community to build this vision due to being situated on a very special whenua that has ready access to awa, maunga and a pa site that has been built as part of the Rangatahi experience while they share a part of their life journey with us as whangai.

The land required is available, the community is behind us, and access to a range of construction solutions will help open the doors sooner rather than later.

SOCIAL HOUSING: 

Social housing is the term given to accommodation which is provided at affordable rates, on a secure basis to people on low incomes or with particular needs. Social housing properties are usually owned by the state, in the form of councils, or by non-profit organisations such as housing associations.

Types of social housing:

Social rented homes: low rent (typically 50-60% of market rent), secure housing, prioritised by need.
Affordable rent housing: social housing with a higher rent (up to 80% of market rent), less secure housing, prioritised by need.

COMMUNITY HOUSING:

Community housing is a form of affordable housing working alongside private housing in the open market. Typically, community housing organisations are not-for-profit groups meeting housing need through a range of affordable rental and home ownership options.

We are currently seeking to invest into the following social and community housing projects and developments, either as the primary investor and or co-investor. (Joint venture partnerships are of special preference to us).

• Tikanga & Kaupapa Māori-based supported living residences.
• Tikanga & Kaupapa Māori-based health & wellbeing facilities and residences.
• Tikanga & Kaupapa Māori-based education and training facilities and residences.
