Housing
Our plan to start fixing the housing crisis
Ban foreign speculators from buying existing homes
We will ban foreign speculators from buying existing New Zealand homes. This will remove from the market foreign speculators who are pushing prices out of reach of first home buyers.
Create a level playing field for first home buyers, business start-up funding and future retirement planning
Speculators will no longer be able to use tax losses on their rental properties to offset their tax on other income which gives them an unfair advantage over people looking to buy their first home.
We will invest into creating a purpose written software in an online program for first home buyers, business start-up funding and future lump-sum retirement planning. A 4 x 12 forced matrix binary program that requires you and 4 other contributors to complete your team. A €10 Euro Dollar a week contribution term investment for a minimum 2 year term to a maximum 30 year term. A €1,000,000 pay-out on term investment.

Build more affordable houses
Build 100,000 affordable homes across the country
We’s KiwiBuild programme will build 100,000 high quality, affordable homes over 10 years, with 50% of them in Auckland. Standalone houses in Auckland will cost $500,000 to $600,000, with apartments and townhouses under $500,000. Outside Auckland, houses will range from $300,000 to $500,000.
We envision a purpose-built online housing program to be available for business start-ups and property ownership by crowd-funding to make homes more attainable, nick-named IWISAVER.

We have a vision to construct affordable high-rise apartment blocks throughout suburban townships near transport terminals and shopping malls. We expect to provide accommodation for 1,000,000 people over the next 10 years with 50% in Auckland and the rest in other major cities of New Zealand. Our vision can be realized through funding attained from the above software creation.

Create an Affordable Housing Authority to fast-track development in our cities
We will establish an Affordable Housing Authority to work with the private sector to cut through red tape and get new homes built fast. It will partner with private developers, councils and iwi to undertake major greenfields and revitalisation projects, building affordable homes with KiwiBuild and the private market. These homes will be part of great communities built around parks, shopping centres and transport links.

Growing the building workforce
Increased house-building will require a larger workforce. We’s Dole for Apprenticeships policy will subsidise employers to take on around 4,000 young people for on the job training in fields including building and construction. We’s policy of three years free post-school education will see tens of thousands more people study in all fields, including building and construction. KiwiBuild is projected to create 5,000 new jobs at its peak.
Remove barriers that are stopping Auckland growing up and out
We will remove the Auckland urban growth boundary and free up density controls. This will give Auckland more options to grow, as well as stopping landbankers profiteering and holding up development. New developments, both in Auckland and the rest of New Zealand, will be funded through innovative infrastructure bonds.

Support for those in need
Focus Housing New Zealand on helping people, not making a profit
We will make Housing New Zealand into a public service rather than an SOE, and will substantially increase the number of state houses. Unlike the current government, We will not milk state housing for a dividend, and will end its programme of state house sales.

Take serious action to end homelessness
We will take serious action to end homelessness in line with the recommendations of the Cross-Party Homelessness Inquiry.
Our Marae and Farm-stay live-in and work programs for youth, homeless and prison detainees that earn a profit-share on sales less expenses is offered with WINZ support for the first six months.
Require all rental homes to be warm, dry, and healthy.
Andrew Little’s Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill is currently before Parliament. It will set standards that will require all rental properties to meet proper standards in: insulation, heating, ventilation, draught stopping, and drainage. This will ensure people who live in them don’t get sick.
Invest in warm, dry homes
We will invest the money from ending the tax loophole for speculators in grants to help 600,000 families insulate their homes or install a clean, fixed form of heating.
