If you're on a low income, you may be eligible for a Housing New Zealand home. Housing New Zealand can help with properties ranging from units for people living alone to larger homes for families.
Eligibility depends on how much you and members of your household earn and the value of any assets you own. You also need to be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.
Call Housing New Zealand on 0800 801 601 to talk through your housing needs. If you are likely to be eligible for a rental home, they will arrange a time for you to visit their local office. If they can't help, they may be able to put you in touch with other groups that can.
