Kiwi Families set for upfront cash subsidy to help make homes affordable!

Fiona Gallacher from

Listen to the wonderful life change that Sanjida Pathan experienced,as a single mum on a lower income, who was able to buy her own home in Mangere East, partnering with Habitat Auckland in our Progressive Home Ownership Scheme. 💕

Delighted to hear Sanjida speak so eloquently interviewed by the Herald about the difference being able to buy a home has made to her family’s life. 🤗

Housing Minister Phil Twyford confirmed to the Herald this week he was working on a plan for the Government or private investors to start buying homes in partnership with lower-income Kiwis, under a new government scheme.

Habitat for Humanity strongly advocates that everyone , no matter what their income, deserves a decent, affordable place to call home.

Here’s to the government stepping up soon to support Habitat for Humanity and other organisation with similar programmes to help get as many Kiwi families into a place they can call home very soon! 🙏

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
