1 juill. 2017 - Haumaru Housing assumes management of Auckland Council Pensioner Housing

Description:

Haumaru Housing took over the management of Auckland Council’s 1,452 pensioner housing units located in villages across south Auckland (686), north Auckland (458) and west Auckland (308 including 40 being built). [Note that in March 2003, the then Auckland City Council had sold its 1,542 pensioner housing units to Housing New Zealand Corporation].
Haumaru Housing was a partnership between the Auckland Council and the Selwyn Foundation – with the Selwyn Foundation as a 51 percent shareholder.
Haumaru Housing was a registered Community Housing Provider which meant that tenants, where eligible, were able to receive an Income-related Rent Subsidy. Prior to this, tenants of Council-owned social housing were ineligible for the Income-related Rent Subsidy, but were, where eligible, able to receive the Accommodation Supplement.
The joint-venture between the Council and the Selwyn Foundation aimed to:
• improve the quality of housing units;
• assess whether villages were in the right locations to meet residents’ needs and to look at develop opportunities; and
• enable access to government subsidies, for those that qualified, that couldn’t be accessed by the Council.
In its first two months of operation, Haumaru Housing housed 32 clients from the Social Housing Register (waiting list).
