1 lugl 1992 anni - Community Funding Agency - created

Descrizione:

Assistance to organisations under the former Housing Corporation Community Housing Programme was transferred to the New Zealand Community Funding Agency of the Department of Social Welfare. The Community Funding Agency provided funding for:
• special tenancies, where community organisations undertook rental agreements to provide housing to those with special needs (eg woman’s refuge and emergency housing);
special lending, where community organisations undertook mortgage agreements to provide housing to those with special needs; and
• the Community Grants Scheme for Advice and Advocacy to people on accommodation.
The Community Funding Agency did not act as a landlord or mortgagee. Once mortgages and rents for community housing providers had been adjusted to market rents by the Government, the Agency’s role was to provide assistance by way of a subsidy. For new providers, the subsidy was allocated to those groups who could fulfil a service need to the Agency’s satisfaction.
Housing New Zealand was responsible for the provision and maintenance of a set number of houses under the Community Housing Programme by contract with the Community Funding Agency.
