Habitat Southern Region

Habitat for Humanity is working in your area to ensure better homes and better futures within communities. 

Struggling to buy your first home?

Habitat for Humanity is offering six brand‑new, three‑bedroom terraced townhouses in Halfway Bush, Dunedin, through our no‑deposit rent‑to‑buy programme. Every rent payment brings you closer to owning your own home, creating a real pathway to stability and a brighter future for local families.

These warm, modern homes are designed for everyday comfort, with quality finishes, energy‑efficient design, and a large covered deck for year‑round outdoor living. 

The development includes a shared communal garden and picnic area, plus separate parking for each home. Located directly across from the local school and reserve, it’s a safe, family‑friendly place to put down roots.

About us

Habitat for Humanity Southern Region is working in central and lower South Island to ensure local families have a decent place to live. 

Our housing programmes focus on providing new home, repairing existing homes and advocating for housing.
