The partnership between Hutt City Council, Kahungunu Whānau Services, Te Rūnanganui o Te Āti Awa, and Council-owned organisation, Urban Plus Limited, is the first of its kind in the country. It sets out a framework for building and delivering warm, safe and affordable homes to those Lower Hutt households in desperate need of a home. A key aim is to provide pathways for these families to permanent home-ownership over time.
