flag New Zealand's 2027 Housing Investment Plan targets 675–770 new social and affordable homes in high-need areas using data-driven funding and expanded support for community providers.

flag New Zealand’s government has launched a data-driven Housing Investment Plan set to begin July 2027, replacing fragmented funding with a contestable Flexible Fund investing $250 million in capital and $41 million in operating funds to deliver 675 to 770 social and affordable homes. flag The plan prioritizes high-need areas like South Auckland, the Far North, and Gisborne, using Housing Register and Census 2023 data to address gaps, such as the mismatch between demand for one-bedroom homes and current supply. flag It expands eligibility to include affordable rentals, supports community and Māori providers, and introduces Crown loan guarantees and low-cost lending to level the playing field with Kāinga Ora. flag The initiative aims to improve housing outcomes through transparency, local collaboration, and targeted investment in safe, suitable homes.
