Exciting new developments & updates from the field
It was an exciting night for our team at the recent Westpac Best of the Best Awards, with Home being recognised for its efforts for Excellence in Community Contribution.
We are grateful that our construction sites continue to operate under the current alert levels of Level 3 for the Auckland region and Level 2 for the rest of New Zealand. Due to the nature of Covid-19, Home has put in extra precautions for the safety of our staff, build partners and stakeholders to stop community transmission.

We have all been through a season of profound disorientation. Our lives have been disrupted and our assumptions about how life is supposed to be have been rearranged. We would encourage you all to make mental health a focus and recommend contacting the team at Mind Health who facilitate these important, and often tricky, conversations.

The Home team has recently completed a 45-home development in Manurewa for Kāinga Ora. With South Auckland being home to a fifth of Auckland’s population, and as one of the most youthful and culturally diverse communities in New Zealand, the need for modern, warm and dry homes is as great as ever.

This month, we completed another ABWK project with Habitat for Humanity. Our Canterbury Home team got stuck in to help Lisa from Cass Bay with better access to her property after a series of events left her out of pocket with unfinished work. Our build partner SES Contracting lead the charge on this project and did a stellar job. Lisa shared a few words of thanks and gratitude with the Habitat team.
"Lisa from Cass Bay here - once again thanks so so much for your excellent help and outstanding quality of work. I am so very very grateful for all you have done here, it is absolutely life changing. Yesterday I was up and down the now tamed hill a heap of times. It is so much easier and safe now. I am so happy to finally have a finished house as it was meant to be."

Successful housing developments start with good planning, but even before the planning gets underway, defining what “success” looks like is even more important. Balancing good financial sustainability, with strong community and environmental outcomes is a hallmark of any successful long-term approach to community development.
Gemelli are leading experts in financial solutions for the housing sector, and provide services in Progressive Home Ownership and Shared Equity. Their team are currently working on a number of developments with Home and have recently helped Habitat for Humanity with the Christchurch Housing Initiative, all of which are focused on helping people buy their first homes.
