Transforming lives and strengthening hāpori through home ownership!
Our Kaupapa
Kaenga Hou Trust is a kaupapa Māori housing initiative based in Te Tairāwhiti providing whānau centric pathways to home ownership and housing independence.
We strive to empower whānau to achieve home ownership by offering an innovative finance mechanism and providing tailored wrap-around support throughout the journey.
We have multiple pathways for whānau to purchase a home in a way that works for you!
Rent to Buy
Te Tīmatanga!
The ideal starting point! This homeownership pathway helps you and your whānau move into a home that is renovated to Healthy Home Standards, with the option to add a cabin if needed.
You can rent for up to 5 years while saving for a deposit, clearing debt and preparing to step into Shared Ownership - all with our ongoing support.
Shared Ownership
Kōkiri!
This is your second step, where you transition from Rent to Buy into Shared Ownership.
You buy the majority of your home, and we’ll buy the rest. Over time and as you can afford it, you buy us out until you own it completely.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to start directly with Shared Ownership.
Licence to Occupy
Hoki mai ki te ūkaipō!
Reconnect to your whenua! This is a homeownership pathway that opens up the possibilities to return to your ancestral roots.
It may also be a pathway to extend whānau living on your own section as long as you meet our criteria.
