We’ve all heard a lot about New Zealand’s ongoing housing crisis in recent years, we now have one of the most unaffordable housing markets in the world. This is impacting everyone; especially young families working hard to get ahead. For many the dream of owning a home is slipping away. Kiwi families are sadly starting to accept living in shoddy, damp, cold rentals, or cramped shared housing.

Yet New Zealand has a tiny population in a vast landscape. Many iwi and extended families have great sections available, especially in the country, but no way to get good quality, affordable homes onto that land. The price tag for building from scratch is not an option for most. Getting mortgages, even for small houses, is often impossible. And it’s hard to raise finance for transportable homes. We reckon this isn’t good enough. This is why we’ve found a great way to get more Kiwis into warm, dry homes of their own.
