Housing Policy

Making Homeownership Possible for Every New Zealander

For too long, homeownership has been out of reach for many Kiwis. The Unity Party is not changing the current system, but adding new pathways so more people can own a home.

🏑 Two ways to own a home:
βœ… Traditional Homeownership – Buy land and a house as usual.
βœ… New Affordable Pathways – Modular homes, rent-to-own options, and structured community villages for those locked out of the market.

Why This Matters

🚨 Kāinga Ora is unsustainable – Taxpayers are spending $520 million a year, yet more families remain stuck in state housing with no way out.
πŸ’‘ Our Solution – Transition eligible Kāinga Ora tenants into homeownership and repurpose social housing to break the cycle of dependence.
🏘️ Structured Community Villages – Affordable, low-cost homes with shared facilities, reducing living expenses and empowering residents.
🌿 Sustainable Housing – All new developments will use solar energy and eco-friendly materials to cut costs and protect the environment.

πŸ“’ It’s time for a housing system that works for everyone!
