Our Place-based groups
Place-based groups are responsible for building customer and community relationships on behalf of Kāinga Ora in their defined geographic area, undertaking or overseeing service delivery to those customers and communities, and integrating activities around regional investment plans based on community and government priorities.
Our groups will support our urban development and construction activity by identifying and undertaking the early stage development of opportunities to partner for, enable and deliver public, affordable and supported housing.
As a public housing landlord we are doing more to help New Zealanders. We support customers to live well with dignity, stability, in connected communities, empowering them to live stable lives and reach their aspirations. We have created additional roles to deliver more for our customers and support our new services and ways of working. Ensuring that the roles also align to our target people outcomes: connected to our purpose, supported to succeed, empowered and thriving, a sense of belonging.
