14 avr. 2014 - Community Housing Regulatory Authority - created

Description:

The Community Housing Regulatory Authority (within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) was established to monitor community housing providers to whom the Income-related Rent Subsidy was paid (other than Housing New Zealand Corporation). Its role was to ensure that community housing providers had good tenancy services, quality homes and prudent financial management
From 14 April 2014, community housing providers who were registered with the Authority were eligible to receive the Income-related Rent Subsidy for tenants assessed as eligible by the Ministry of Social Development.
Initially, 32 organisations were registered as community housing providers. By 30 June 2014, the Ministry of Social Development had contracts with 20 providers to receive the Income-related Rent Subsidy.
The Housing Restructuring and Tenancy Matters (Community Housing Provider) Regulations 2014 provided for the registration and regulation of community housing providers.
The government’s social housing reforms sought to expand the social housing sector by encouraging community organisations to become providers alongside Housing New Zealand Corporation. The government’s goal was that 20 percent of social housing would be provided by non-government organisations by 2017.
