Who we work with
Whether you’re a landowner with underused space, a developer exploring creative models, a local council seeking stronger outcomes, or someone driven to advocate or volunteer, there’s room for you in this movement. We’re actively partnering with a range of people and organisations to deliver innovative housing solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and deeply community-centred.
From establishing mixed-tenure neighbourhoods (like Karamū’s 84-home development combining ownership, rentals, and wrap-around support), to advocating for policy shifts and educating the sector, your involvement makes a difference. Let’s co-create flourishing communities across Aotearoa, reach out to see where your strengths align.

Landowners
If you own land, you can be part of the solution.
By leasing or contributing underused land, you help unlock new opportunities for affordable and mixed-tenure housing. We work creatively with landowners to design developments that deliver strong community benefit while ensuring fair value for you. Whether it’s a single site or a larger block, your whenua can become the foundation for flourishing families and thriving neighbourhoods.

Developers
Developers and investors have a unique role in reshaping New Zealand’s housing system.
By piloting mixed-tenure models, integrating affordable housing into profitable projects, or experimenting with innovative financial structures, you can prove that housing can deliver both social impact and financial return. We’re building partnerships with like-minded investors who want to see long-term value — for whānau, communities, and the economy.

Philanthropic Donors
Your giving helps us go further, faster. Philanthropic support allows us to invest in research, community programmes, and housing initiatives that aren’t always funded through traditional channels. By making a donation, you’re helping to create homes, strengthen communities, and advocate for a more just housing system across Aotearoa.
Every dollar goes beyond bricks and mortar — it fuels wrap-around services, community events, and the kind of innovation that ensures whānau can flourish long-term. For donors, this is a chance to create lasting impact and see your generosity directly change lives.

Local Council and Planners
Councils hold the keys to local wellbeing and growth.
By partnering with us, you can unlock zoning opportunities, support innovative development pathways, and address local needs with precision. Together, we can build housing that is affordable, climate-resilient, and community-focused. We understand the pressures councils face, and we’re ready to collaborate to ensure housing solutions align with your vision for stronger, more connected neighbourhoods.

Impact Investors
For those seeking both a financial return and measurable social impact, we offer opportunities to invest in housing that is affordable, sustainable, and community-focused. Our impact investment models demonstrate how capital can unlock mixed-tenure developments, support progressive home ownership, and deliver strong, steady returns while transforming the housing system.
As an impact investor, you’re not just funding houses — you’re partnering in a movement. Together, we can show that investment capital can achieve more than profit: it can deliver dignity, wellbeing, and flourishing communities.

Charities and Community Housing Providers
No one organisation can do this alone.
Community Housing Providers and charities bring deep knowledge of tenant needs and strong connections to whānau. By working together, we can deliver wrap-around supports, trial new tenancy pathways, and create neighbourhoods where people have every chance to flourish. Your on-the-ground experience is invaluable, and by combining it with our development expertise, we can amplify impact at scale.

Researchers and Sector Advocates
Evidence and advocacy shape the housing system of tomorrow.
We welcome researchers who want to partner on evaluations, social return on investment studies, or policy analysis. We’re also keen to work with advocates who can translate evidence into meaningful action. Together, we can shine a light on what works, influence decision-makers, and build momentum for change grounded in data, lived experience, and courage.

Private Landlords
Private landlords play an important role in shaping the rental market, and you have the power to make housing more secure and affordable for whānau. By partnering with us, you can ensure your properties are managed in a way that balances fair returns with positive social outcomes. We work with landlords who want to see their investments do more than generate income — landlords who also want to create stability, wellbeing, and opportunity for tenants.
Through tenancy management, wrap-around support, and long-term community building, we can help you deliver a better experience for tenants while protecting and enhancing the value of your assets. Together, we can set a higher standard for what renting in Aotearoa can look like.
