The Kāinga Ora turnaround plan refocusing the agency on its role of building and maintaining government owned social housing was announced in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) today by Housing Minister Hon Chris Bishop, Simon Moutter, Chair Kāinga Ora and Matt Crockett, Chief Executive, Kāinga Ora.
Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga - Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is responsible for monitoring Kāinga Ora.
The turnaround plan follows on from the independent review delivered last year by Sir Bill English.
There are five components to the Plan:
- Kāinga Ora to be refocused on its core mission: building, maintaining and managing quality social housing, and being a supportive, but firm landlord.
- Improved organisational performance: a focus on cost effectiveness – reducing high overheads and leveraging buying power more effectively.
- Improved tenant and community management.
- Improved housing portfolio and build management – better managing the existing Kāinga Ora assets and building or renewing homes as efficiently as the market, including simplifying social housing building specifications and using all available building delivery channels.
- A more persistent and sustainable approach to funding and associated settings.
