INTRODUCTION
As a result Our Place has lifted its sights to be
a plan for delivering housing in New Zealand – a
wider ambit that includes community housing as one
of many approaches to delivery across the market.
We’re heartened by the opportunities to work in
partnership and Our Place is a demonstration of
this approach.
The problem that Our Place addresses is the need
for a comprehensive long-term plan that improves

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CONTINUUM
We support a housing continuum approach where there are realistic and flexible options that minimise
the need for emergency housing and delivers adequate quantities of social housing, assisted rental
and assisted ownership so that households can find the pathway to satisfy their housing needs. This
approach requires housing that is adequate – meaning habitable, affordable, accessible, secure tenure
and culturally appropriate.
