dec 12, 2013 - Kainga Whenua Infrastructure Grant - starts

Description:

The Kainga Whenua Infrastructure Grant was established to help Mäori individuals, land trusts and other collectives develop housing on ancestral Mäori land. The grant was provided to assist with additional infrastructure costs, such as establishing roads and services. The extra costs with establishing access to water and electricity, particularly in rural areas often limited the ability to use Mäori land for social and affordable housing.
Support with infrastructure costs was intended to make in it more realistic for Mäori individuals and trusts to take advantage of other Government programmes, such as Kainga Whenua Loans through Kiwibank for building housing on Mäori land.
The Grant was administered by the Social Housing Unit, in the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
