OUR VISION

The Waikato Housing Initiative is a group of passionate leaders who have a vision to change the current status quo of housing across the Waikato region.

The initiative sets out to lead, connect and facilitate the delivery of affordable, quality and accessible homes in the Waikato and is mandated by the Waikato Mayoral Forum.

*We have included the UN rights to adequate housing entitlements in our definition for 'well-housed'. 'Well-housed means timely access to habitable, affordable, accessible, culturally appropriate, appropriately located, and with security of tenure housing.

WORKING ACROSS THE HOUSING CONTINUUM

The Waikato Housing Initiative (WHI) is a cross-sectoral work group which includes representatives from across the housing spectrum and is responsible for progressing the work of the Waikato Housing Initiative to realise our vision.

The Waikato region has a well-functioning housing system

The diverse housing needs of Waikato people are met
