31 mar 2017 año - Ownership and management of State housing in Tauranga transferred to a Community Housing Provider

Descripción:

The ownwership and management of 1,138 Housing New Zealand Corporation properties in Tauranga and more than 1,100 social housing tenancies was transferred to a Community Housing Provider – Accessible Properties Limted (a subsidiary of the IHC).
As a result of the transfer, there were higher tenancy-manager ratios, closer links between tenancy management and Tauranga social services, proactive approaches to debt management and anti-social behaviour and a commitment to repairing 2,600 identified property defects within two years. Under a 25 year contract with the Ministry of Social Development, Accessible Properties Limited would develop an additional 150 properties to address increasing demand for social housing.
In August 2016, the government had announced that Accessible Properties had been chosen as the preferred provider to take ownership of Housing New Zealand Corporation properties in Tauranga. At the time, Accessible Properties looked after around 1,600 properties throughout New Zealand. This followed a May 2015 announcement that Tauranga and Invercargill had been selected as the first regions for the proposed transfer of Housing New Zealand Corporation (HNZC) houses to registered Community Housing Providers (CHPs). These areas were chosen because of their stable demand for social housing and active CHPs.
The transfer was a key component of the Government’s social housing reform programme.
