We promote fair & decent housing

We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone can live in dignity. Through advocating for just and fair housing policies, we promote positive and lasting change in our communities, creating opportunities for everyone to access affordable, decent places to live.

Workshops & Pathways

We bring people together to share knowledge and skills, supporting individuals and families to feel empowered to access affordable, healthy, and safe housing. From support for tenants and aspiring homeowners to tips and tricks for healthy homes, Habitat offers a range of programmes to help families grow their kete of knowledge.

Pacific Community Programmes

Habitat has a long history of partnering with Pacific communities to strengthen shelter preparedness and access to decent housing in local communities. Our neighbours in The Pacific constantly face extreme weather events, cyclone seasons, and changing climates that threaten safe, secure homes.

Through locally led shelter education programmes like Participatory Approach to Safe Shelter Awareness (PASSA), Build Back Safer (BBS), and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), communities upskill in project planning, identifying risks to shelter, basic building and maintenance skills, and budgeting.

A programme grant then supports each community to carry out their action plan project. A footpath allowing access to the nurses station during flooding, an evacuation centre for the whole village, a seawall; each project, big or small, improves the places communities call home for years to come.
