Imagine if everyone in New Zealand had a place to come home to where they could be comfortable and warm and breathe easy. We have the knowledge and capabilities to ensure every New Zealander can feel at home in their home. But we need to work together to make it happen – central government, councils, industry, research, finance, community organisations all have a role to play.
A decent home is warm, dry, accessible, and offers security of tenure. A decent home is what we want for ourselves, our neighbours and people in our communities. Decent homes allow us to get work and get to work and to keep kids in school. They keep us healthy. Decent homes are energy and water efficient – an essential part of the infrastructure that enables our communities to function, and councils to meet their climate and sustainability goals.
Wellington Regional Healthy Housing Group (WRHHG) is a cross-sectoral collective impact initative working toward the vision of: “Healthy safe homes for the wellbeing of everyone in the Wellington region.” As a collective we have a Wellington region focus, however we share our goal with similar groups throughout the country. We are working together for a well-functioning housing system where every actor does their part. Learn more about WRHHG here.
